Day 15, and counting, of Vicente Gonzalez’s shutdown. Out of touch Democrat Vicente Gonzalez’s shutdown has frozen financial aid processing, leaving millions of students and parents in limbo. FAFSA applications are stalled, federal work-study jobs are unpaid, and families are uncertain about tuition bills.

“Democrat Vicente Gonzalez promised to fight for education, but delivered nothing but headaches and red tape. Families trying to plan for college are paying for Gonzalez’s political games.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
