U.S. Representative K. Michael Conaway (R-Texas) issued the following statement on the government shutdown:
“The House of Representatives fulfilled its responsibilities by sending not one, not two, but three bills to the Senate to keep the government open while highlighting the damage Obamacare will do to American families and the economy. The Senate, choosing not to follow the will of the people, discarded these efforts so they could protect Obamacare. It is time for Democrats to come to the table and negotiate in good faith, and I will continue to push for fiscally responsible legislation to reopen the government that also addresses Washington’s addiction to deficit spending.”
