Riley Triggered the Shutdown, New Yorkers Be Damned

Government funding runs out today, and it’s all Josh Riley’s fault. Out of touch obstructionist Riley put politics over people and voted against legislation to keep the government open. 

Josh Riley’s reckless stunt forces New Yorkers to face unnecessary uncertainty. A shutdown jeopardizes paychecks for service members, law enforcement, TSA agents, and more. It delays assistance for small businesses, cuts off funding for Head Start, and puts veterans’ services at risk. All because Josh Riley would rather play games than do his job. 

“Out of touch Democrat Josh Riley isn’t just an obstructionist, he is a do-nothing disaster who fails to put New Yorkers first every day. This shutdown is his fault, his mess, and his betrayal of the people he swore to serve.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
