Sykes’ Shutdown Show: Ohio Loses

September 30, 2025

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

Sykes’ reckless stunt forces Ohioans to face unnecessary uncertainty. A shutdown jeopardizes paychecks for servicemembers, 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 Emilia Sykes would rather play games than do her job. 

“Out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes isn’t just an obstructionist, She is a do-nothing disaster who fails to put Ohioans first every day. This shutdown is her fault, her mess, and her betrayal of the people she swore to serve.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
