Congressman Ami Bera (CA-07) released the following statement on the first day of the U.S. government shutdown:

"If you want evidence that Washington is broken, look no further than this shutdown. Instead of putting people before politics, Congressional leadership continues to refuse to sit down and hammer out a deal. Governing crisis to crisis is irresponsible.

Congress needs to start acting like adults. We need to start talking, and more importantly, we need to start listening. We need to open the government and vote on a budget that actually addresses our challenges."
