Commerce Committee Leadership Introduce Bill to Ensure Coast Guard Personnel Paid In Event of Gov't Shutdown

Press Release

"Coast Guard members and their families make sacrifices every day to serve our country, and it is our duty to make sure they always get their paychecks and can put food on the table, regardless of any political fights in Washington. I will always work to avoid unnecessary government shutdowns, but should political brinksmanship ever take us to one, our bipartisan bill will make sure our brave Coast Guard members and their families are not bearing the brunt of it."
