I'm ashamed of my comments. It was not leadership. It is not how I was raised. It is not the nature of my character. It is not what I want to teach my sons. I apologize for my hurtful remarks when so many others are feeling the pain of Washington’s dysfunction. “I should and will stand in the shoes of the federal civilian employees who are furloughed. We share the same responsibilities to pay our bills and if they don't receive a paycheck and must take extraordinary efforts and sacrifice to pay them, then I should too. “I have asked the Chief Administrative Officer to withhold my paycheck until furloughed employees get their paycheck.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
