The Suozzi-Gillen agenda: veterans last, politics first.

November 10, 2025

As New Yorkers prepare to honor America’s heroes this Veterans Day, we’re reminded that our service members deserve respect and reliable support. Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen rejected that principle, choosing political games over paying and supporting the men and women who serve our nation. President Trump stepped in to ensure our heroes received their checks, even while Suozzi and Gillen left them out to dry. 

“Our veterans and service members should never be used as political leverage. They deserve paychecks, support, and gratitude, not Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s partisan games.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
