SOTO’S SHUTDOWN SHAME: Darren Put Politics Over People

September 30, 2025

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

Darren Soto’s reckless stunt forces Floridians 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 Darren Soto would rather play games than do his job. 

“Out of touch Democrat Darren Soto isn’t just an obstructionist, he is a do-nothing disaster who fails to put Floridians 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
