SHUTDOWN
Maryland First District Republican and House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris says passage of the government funding bill to end the Democrat-led shutdown is a win for conservatives and the American people. He says it ends the Schumer Shutdown, stops a bloated year-end omnibus dead in its tracks, keeps spending flat, protects President Trump’s priorities, and forces a continuing resolution into January. Sixth District Representative April McClain Delaney joined all of Maryland’s Congressional Democrats in voting no on the measure. She says while a resolution was long-awaited by farmers, small business owners and government workers – the 24-million Americans whose health care premiums will more than double cannot celebrate. She says the fight goes far beyond politics, it’s about values.
