House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) released the following statement after Democrats voted to shut down the government indefinitely:

"By voting to shut down the government, Democrats put critical USDA services in jeopardy. These political games harm rural America through disruptions to farm payments, disaster relief, food assistance, and other critical services. Performative photo ops at state fairs and lip service to the producers who feed, fuel, and clothe our country won’t hide the truth—Democrats forcing a government shutdown only inflicts more pain on our agricultural economy."
