SHAHEEN STATEMENT ON POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

(Washington, D.C.) – Senator Shaheen released the following statement regarding a potential government shutdown:

“I hope we won’t have a shutdown, because it would have a real effect on people and a real impact on the economy. It’s totally unnecessary, because there’s agreement on the need for significant cuts to the budget and the size of those cuts, but the House continues to demand that ideological policy provisions be included. Putting 800,000 people out of work to score political points on abortion is irresponsible.”
