CONGRESSMAN TRONE CALLS ON CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS TO STOP THE POLITICAL GAMES AS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AVERTED

October 1st, 2023 by WCBC Radio

Today, David Trone, Congressman for Maryland’s 6th District and a Democratic candidate for United States Senate, released a statement lambasting Republicans for playing political games with the American people and risking the livelihoods of hard-working families, after the House passed a 45-day funding bill for the federal government.

Statement from David Trone:
“Far-right Republicans in Congress have spent months playing games with American lives and threatening to shut down the federal government,” said Rep. Trone. “Rather than fighting to find real solutions for American families, the most extreme Republicans in Congress have had a shouting match with themselves, risking the livelihoods of millions of families.”

“These folks simply don’t care about the damage that their political stunts cause. The American people deserve leaders in both chambers of Congress who listen to American families, not deep-pocketed PACs and lobbyists who treat division like progress. I’ve never taken a nickel from PACs or lobbyists, and in the Senate, I’ll be focused on delivering results for Maryland families and ending the political games in Washington. ”
