Donald McEachin on federal government shutdown

Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) issued this statement on President Trump’s partial government shutdown.

“At the expense of the American people, President Trump got exactly what he asked for – another government shutdown. Shutting down our government jeopardizes our economy as well as denies Americans their income and services. Unfortunately, House Republicans decided that funding for the divisive border wall was more important than governing in the best interest of the people when we had the opportunity to avoid this shutdown.”
