Emilia Sykes’ Shutdown Shenanigans, Politics Over Ohioans

Last week, out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes voted to shut down the government and sell out Ohioans.

Her reckless vote could put Ohioans directly in harm’s way:

• Threatening families’ safety due to law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers may be forced to work without pay.
• Blocking 36,954 veterans from accessing critical programs, including employment assistance.
• Forcing  5,375 federal workers in OH-09 to work without pay.
• Jeopardizing millions in loan financing for the state’s 1.1 million small businesses.
• Limiting access to financial assistance, including disaster relief, for 1,541 farmers.
• Endangering funding for the Head Start program that serves 21,315 children in Ohio. 

Bottom line: Emilia Sykes put a partisan stunt ahead of the livelihoods of everyday Ohioans.

“Instead of standing for Ohioans, out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes voted to bring the government to a grinding halt, holding Ohioans hostage. Ohioans won’t forgive this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
