Frank Mrvan’s Shutdown Shutters Parks, Slashes Jobs, and Strangles Tourism

October 5, 2025

Shuttered visitor centers, canceled family vacations, and local communities losing $193 million in economic impact from Indiana Dunes National Park in Indiana. That’s the reality created by Democrat Frank Mrvan’s vote to shut down the government. Instead of protecting jobs, families, and small businesses that depend on tourism, Mrvan chose politics and chaos. 

“Out of touch Democrat Frank Mrvan chose politics over families — closing our parks, canceling trips, and cutting off the small businesses that depend on them.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
