Day 27: Kaptur’s Shutdown Cut Pay for Troops

October 28, 2025

Military service members are missing paychecks, and families are feeling it. Rent, car payments, and grocery bills don’t stop because Democrats shut down the government. While House Republicans voted to keep pay flowing, Democrats like Marcy Kaptur voted no, putting politics ahead of the patriots who protect this country.

“Marcy Kaptur’s shutdown is more than a political stunt; it’s a direct hit on the men and women defending our nation. Republicans voted to pay the troops; Democrats voted to stiff them. It’s shameful and dangerous to our national security.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
