Congressman DeFazio introduces act to pay Coast Guard

Congressman Peter DeFazio is fighting for U.S. Coast Guard members to get paid during the government shutdown.

On Wednesday, the U.S House of Representatives sent out a press release detailing efforts from DeFazio, who is also the Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. He introduced legislation that would "provide funding for the Coast Guard and ensure that active duty and reserve members of the Coast Guard are paid during the government shutdown," the release said.
