Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) issued the following statement: "Tonight, I voted to reopen the federal government—ending 43 days of unnecessary pain inflicted by Democrats. They shut down the government, held Americans hostage, and walked away with nothing. This is the same deal that was available before their shutdown stunt began. The Left’s political stunt accomplished only one thing: it reminded the country that Washington Democrats will always put power and partisanship above the American people. "While reopening the government is the right decision, we cannot return to business as usual. Washington’s size and power continue to suffocate our states and citizens. We must seize this moment to permanently shrink the federal bureaucracy, restore constitutional limits, and return power to the states—just as President Trump is doing through his executive actions. "It’s time to rein in Washington and put our Republic back on the foundation our Framers intended." | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
