WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released the below statement signaling support for the legislative package introduced today that would reopen and fund the government.
“The U.S. Chamber continues to call for an immediate end to the current government shutdown and applauds the Senators who have worked across the aisle to identify a path forward to reopening.
“Each day that the government remains closed is another day that our nation’s economic and national security are at risk. We call for swift passage of the package released today to reopen and fund the government.”
Last week, Chamber President and CEO Suzanne P. Clark called on Senate Democrats to immediately vote to reopen the federal government.
Since the onset of the shutdown, the Chamber has highlighted the harm it has inflicted on small businesses, the economy, and national security.
