Day 26: Sykes Put Partisan Politics Over Those Who Protect Us

October 28, 2025

Military service members are missing their paychecks, which can impact our national security and military readiness, as well as make it harder for service members to pay their bills. Out-of-touch Democrat Emilia Sykes voted to shut down the government and deny pay to those who defend our nation, choosing politics over patriotism.

“While House Republicans voted to keep paychecks flowing for America’s servicemembers, Democrat Emilia Sykes voted no, putting politics before the people who protect us. Every missed paycheck weakens our readiness and disrespects our heroes.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
