WASHINGTON, D.C.— Congressman Bryan Steil released a statement following President Trump's address to the nation:
"I am frustrated with the logjam we find ourselves in. Providing the tools and resources to keep our homeland safe are commonsense solutions that my colleagues from both sides of the aisle can support. I am in Congress to work with anyone to get the job done and solve these problems, not to play political games with our border security and government funding. We must secure our border and end the shutdown."
