Griffith, DeGette push cancer legislation, talk shutdown

Reps. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) and Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) urged Congress to pass legislation to boost cancer prevention, a rare area of bipartisan agreement as lawmakers remain divided on funding the government.

The lawmakers spoke at a Punchbowl News event Thursday, where they also weighed in on the government funding lapse that’s now in its third week.
