Yoho Statement on Agreement to Reopen the Government

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Ted S. Yoho (R-FL), issued the following statement in response to the president’s agreement to reopen the federal government.

“I congratulate President Trump for his leadership in ending the government shutdown so federal employees, especially the dedicated men and women serving in the Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration, will get paid. We thank them for their patience, and most of all, their dedication and service to our country.

“President Trump did what was right by America. He will negotiate with enough common-sense Democrats to achieve the border security we need. This will include funding for a border wall, as needed, and to keep the government operating for the American people.  My colleagues and I are ready and willing to work with President Trump to accomplish these national priorities.”
