Julie Johnson’s Shutdown is Devastating Texans

It has officially been one week of the government shutdown and Texans are feeling the pressure.

Each week, 31.3 million Texans are losing $1.4 billion in Gross State Product, about $307 million worth of small business loans are getting held up, and over 218,000 workers are furloughed or working without pay. This must end but Julie Johnson does not care. She voted for this shutdown rather than continuing to fund the government and now she’s placing blame everywhere but on herself.

“Julie Johnson is shameful. She voted to shut down the government and, in turn, is hurting Texans. It is high time she stops playing political games with people’s livelihoods and works to put Texans first.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
