Jen Kiggans Puts Virginia First While Dems Prioritize a Dangerous Shutdown

October 6, 2025

Jen Kiggans voted to keep the government open, and now, she’s foregoing her congressional salary, because for Kiggans, it’s about putting Virginia first, not politics.

The Democrat shutdown is threatening Virginia families’ safety as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers are working without pay, veterans are faced with losing access to critical programs, and Head Start funding is endangered for thousands of kids across the Commonwealth.

“While Democrats forced America into a costly and dangerous government shutdown, Jen Kiggans is showing Virginians that she’s in Congress to fight for them, not play harmful political games.” — NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
