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."

Steil was sworn into office on his family's Bible, which he borrowed from his 101-year-old grandmother. His parents and sisters attended his swearing-in ceremony.
Rep. Bryan Steil said ending the government shutdown was at the top of his mind as he took office Thursday.
The Janesville Republican spoke by phone with The Gazette hours before he officially replaced Rep. Paul Ryan as the 1st Congressional District's representative.
"I am firmly committed: We need to reopen the government," Steil said, but he added that will happen when President Donald Trump and the Senate resolve their "logjam" over the question of a border wall.
Bryan Steil, who replaces Paul Ryan in Wisconsin's First Congressional District took the oath of office Thursday afternoon and is ready to get to work.
