Congresswoman Debbie Lesko Votes to Immediately Pay Federal Workers
January 23, 2019
Today, Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) and House Republicans voted to pay all federal employees during the shutdown until a solution is reached.
“Today I voted to immediately pay our federal workers. Unfortunately, 215 Democrats did not so the bill failed. Our federal workers are being held hostage by Democrats who refuse to negotiate. It’s time for Speaker Pelosi to come to the negotiating table.”
