Valadao Releases Statement, FAQs on Government Shutdown

Statement

Date: Jan. 20, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

On Saturday, United States Congressman David G. Valadao (CA-21) released the following statement regarding the ongoing shutdown of the federal government.
"There is no doubt this government shutdown was avoidable and unnecessary and it is incredibly unfortunate those in Washington are unable to put aside their differences to do what is best for our nation.

I firmly believe Congress should continue to discuss the difficult issues at the center of this debate, including the DACA program, with the intent on finding a long-term solution. However, this debate should not be made at the expense of children and members of our military.

I remain committed to working with Republicans and Democrats to protect DACA recipients, ensure our nation's children have the healthcare they deserve, and end this government shutdown."
