Thank you for voting for the bills passed by the previous GOP Congress, which provide funding for border security and reopen government. Our federal workers shouldn't be held hostage to a tantrum.

Thank you for standing up for federal employees.

Thank you @RepElaineLuria for standing up for Federal Workers! #Va02 It’s time to end the shutdown!

Thank you for speaking out for good government.

While rest of military branches are getting paycheck CG members were stressed and anxious about the last one and now they are again but the mission never stops. Nat’l security, LE, environmental regs, safety regs, SAR, and more all day, everyday.

To be fair, this Congress inherited this problem. Should've been fixed years ago. That being said, your "bi-partisan" bill does nothing to fix it. Check @RepDanCrenshaw 's thread from before the address. Then get serious about it, if you can.

Thank you for representing the 2nd District, a welcome change.

Ms Luria, I suggest that you plan a trip to the border and educate yourself before throwing out talking points provided to you by the Speaker. The plan provided by Mr. Trump is not his plan but the same ones that have been advanced under other Administrations.
