Washington, D.C. – TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of tech industry CEOs and senior executives, today released the following statement from its President and CEO Linda Moore calling on Congress to end the government shutdown.

“The continued shutdown of our government hurts workers, disrupts innovation, and undermines America’s global leadership,” said Moore. “With critical services being increasingly impacted and economic consequences growing, it’s imperative that Congress act quickly to end the shutdown while policymakers continue to negotiate a long-term funding package and keep our economy moving forward.”
