WASHINGTON – Chautauqua County’s representative in Washington was able to spend time with the president this week in an effort to end theshutdown.
Rep. Tom Reed (R-Corning, NY 23) – who is the co-chair of the House bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus – joined several other caucus members in a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump on Wednesday to discuss ending the partial government shutdown and securing the southern border.
Reed’s communications director Will Reinert says that Reed and other members of the Caucus had a constructive meeting with the President, although no solution to the shutdown came out of the discussion.
According to Reinert, there are an estimated 500 government workers in the entire 23rd congressional district who have been impacted by the shutdown.
