Womack Statement on Deal to Reopen the Government
Washington,
January 25, 2019
Washington, DC – January 25, 2019….….Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) today released the following statement in response to President Trump’s announcement that an agreement to reopen the federal government until February 15th has been reached. “I’m encouraged that a deal to reopen the government and pay our federal workers has been reached now that Democrats have agreed to get serious about negotiating. As the President made clear, this isn’t a permanent solution and there is still work to be done. Over the next few weeks, both parties have the opportunity to work together and reach a long-term agreement. President Trump has shown a great willingness to compromise – I hope Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are capable of doing the same. I remain committed to fully funding the government and securing our border.” Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011. He serves as the Ranking Member of the House Committee on the Budget and is a member of the House Appropriations Committee. ###
