We are very close to a bipartisan agreement to keep the government funded, and we owe it to the people we work for to keep working and get the job done.

We owe it to people like @MineWorkers and @Teamsters, who earned their retirement over a lifetime of work. They need us to keep our promise to #SavePensions.

We owe it to kids like Benjamin, who depend on #CHIP for health care – and their families, who’ve been waking up for months unsure if their child will continue to be covered. They need us to do our job and #ExtendCHIP, so families don’t pay the price.

We owe it to our military personnel, who work so hard to keep us safe, and who deserve certainty that they can continue to be at their most ready.

We owe it to all the #Dreamers, including Elvis, who contribute so much to our state and to our country. It’s time for us to come together and pass a bipartisan, commonsense solution that protects these kids, and upholds our American values.

The bottom line here: this is our job. Instead of kicking the can down the road, we need to sit down and find a solution. That’s what we’re here to do.
