Senator Daines Calls For Action To End Federal Shutdown
Senator Steve Daines shared his thoughts on the ongoing federal government shutdown, stating that the best solution to ensure furloughed government workers receive their pay and avoid layoffs is to end the shutdown.

The fastest answer to solve that problem is to open up the government again.
