Suozzi and Gillen froze flood coverage when it mattered most

October 19, 2025

As hurricane season rages, Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown has frozen the National Flood Insurance Program, putting millions of homeowners and small businesses at risk. Home closings are delayed, renewals halted, and families left exposed.

“Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen voted to shut down the government, blocking flood insurance for families on the coast. They chose politics over protection.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
