Does Janelle Bynum not care about Oregonians at all?
Radical Democrats are pushing for a government shutdown, and out-of-touch Janelle Bynum is hiding. Will she join her Democrat cronies and callously put politics over people, or will she put Oregonians first?
If Bynum chooses to put politics first, here’s how her vote would hurt Oregonians — the very people she purports to help:
- Oregonians’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
- There are 303,689 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs — including employment assistance programs.
- The 5,044 federal workers in Bynum’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
- Millions in loan financing for the state’s 409,958 small businesses will be jeopardized.
- The 5th district’s 13,711 farmers may not have access to financial assistance — including disaster relief.
- Funding for the Head Start program — which 3,785 children in Oregon rely on — may be cut off.
“Shutting down the government will have disastrous — and potentially dangerous — consequences on every single Oregonian, but all Janelle Bynum is worried about is scoring political points. It’s almost hard to believe, but that’s exactly how out-of-touch Bynum and her party really are.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
