Mfume, Maryland Delegation Members Call for End to Republican Government Shutdown

“Passing a budget and keeping the government open is our most basic responsibility. Yet Republicans — who control the House, Senate, and White House — have refused to negotiate in good faith,” said Congressman Johnny Olszewski. “The consequences of this reckless shutdown will be especially severe here in Maryland, which is home to hundreds of thousands of federal workers who are also parents, neighbors, and dedicated public servants with mortgages to pay and children to feed. We stand united in our support of them and in our commitment to passing a responsible, bipartisan budget that honors our civil servants and delivers for the American people.” ###
