Costa voted to deny paychecks to the heroes who defend us

Military families are bracing for missed paychecks this week because of Democrat Jim Costa’s reckless shutdown. House Republicans voted to keep pay flowing for America’s servicemembers, but Democrats voted no, choosing politics over patriots.

The result: families wondering how they’ll make rent, cover groceries, or pay bills, and a hit to morale that weakens our national security and military readiness.

“Democrat Jim Costa’s shutdown is hurting the heroes who defend our country, and every missed paycheck is a reminder of how out of touch they’ve become.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
