Over one month ago, House Republicans passed a clean continuing resolution that would allow the government to function as Congress finishes up the appropriations process. House Republicans did our job, passing a completely non-partisan bill that extends government funding at current levels.
Unfortunately, Washington Democrats have rejected the CR, demanding $1.5 trillion in new spending for a partisan wish list that includes free health care for illegal immigrants.
Every day that the government remains shut down is another day that hardworking Americans are left paying the price for Democrats' dysfunction. Kansans deserve leaders who are serious about fiscal responsibility and committed to doing the work they were elected to do.
My offices in DC, Manhattan, and Dodge City remain open and ready to assist while Democrats decide whether to come to the table and reopen the government.
