Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a freshman congressman from Texas, said Thursday he will forgo his pay as the partial government shutdown is set to hit week three at the end of this week.

“I cannot in good conscience get paid while federal employees’ financial futures hang in the balance because of this partial government shutdown. I’ve asked the Chief Administrative Officer to withhold my pay until we have come to an agreement to adequately fund border security,” Crenshaw said in a post on Twitter.
