And a staffer for my former Rep, House Veterans Affairs Chair Buck McKeon.

McKeon's staffer and I had a brief chat about the shutdown with my Rep's staffer present. We disagreed, of course, but we've been acquainted for a couple of years and it was a pleasant exchange. He's a good guy, but I certainly was not going to change any minds here or influence them or their bosses one iota. My Rep has been whipping his caucus members on all of the CR votes.
