The office says Rep. Sykes is urging immediate consideration of her bipartisan Pay Our Military Act, says the bill would keep pay flowing for service members, Defense Department civilians, Coast Guard members, reservists, and contractors during shutdowns, and notes the legislation is still pending in the House.
