WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. French Hill (AR-02) today issued the following statement after the bill to reopen the government passed the House by a vote of 222–209.

“For more than 40 days, Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats’ pointless government shutdown hurt Arkansas families, small businesses, and communities across our state. Now that the government has reopened, we need to turn our attention back to the issues that matter most to Arkansans.

"Our farmers need help, our businesses need certainty, and our families need solutions that make life more affordable. I will continue working to strengthen our economy, help working families, and restore regular order and responsible governance in Washington so Arkansans can have faith that their government can actually help make their lives better.”
