NRCC Chairman Hudson: Democrats Shut It Down

NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) issued the following statement after House Democrats shut down the federal government and put partisan politics ahead of the American people:

“Republicans voted to keep the government open and working for the American people, ensuring vital resources, critical funding, and paychecks are delivered on time. Democrats chose to play politics with people’s lives and force a wasteful and unnecessary government shutdown. I’m especially concerned about the pain this will cause our soldiers and military families, who already sacrifice so much for this nation. The blame for this reckless decision and the harm it will cause working families rests squarely with the Democrats, and it will cost them their seats next November.”
