The America First Policy Institute Governor’s Council and Mayor’s Council are both demanding an end to the Democrat shutdown in letters signed by 32 governors and mayors across the country. In a letter to senators, the Governors’ Council urged the Senate to pass a clean, short-term funding extension immediately — something the Democrats rejected, leading to the government shutdown. “The House has already advanced a clean, bipartisan extension. There is no justification for refusing the same commonsense solution now,” the letter, signed by several mayors across the country, reads. They want responsible leadership, stability, and accountability,” the Mayors’ Council continues, calling for the passage of a “clean, short-term extension.”“Mayors know firsthand how damaging uncertainty can be to small businesses, to public safety, and to trust in government itself,” they add.
