Josh Riley turned his back on those who serve

October 21, 2025

While House Republicans voted to keep America’s government open and ensure our service members get paid, Josh Riley voted no, putting politics before the patriots who protect us. Now, even after President Trump stepped in and fixed their mess, Democrats still won’t answer one simple question: why did they vote against paying our troops?

“Democrat Josh Riley voted to shut down the government, cut off pay to our service members, and then tried to spin his way out of it. The American people won’t forget who stood with the troops, and who turned their back.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
