Schatz Statement On Agreement To End The Trump Shutdown


WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) released the following statement in response to the agreement reached to end the Trump shutdown and reopen the government.

“I want to express my sympathy and my solidarity with all of the workers in Hawai‘i who had to go through this experience. A huge thank you must also go to Hawai‘i’s banks, credit unions, utilities, and non-profits that stepped up to help federal workers in our state. Shutdowns don’t work, and I’m hopeful that everyone has learned this lesson for the last time.”
