WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger (R-TN) released the following statement after the longest government shutdown in history, driven by Democrats' absurd political motivations, comes to an end:
"Democrats caused unnecessary pain for families, farmers, federal workers and our service members during their shutdown charades. As the government opens back up, I hope Democrats have learned their lesson that the lives of the American people should never be used as political bargaining chips." - Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger
