Vindman Viciously Votes to Deny Virginians Paychecks

September 22, 2025

Last week, out of touch Democrat Eugene Vindman voted to shut down the government and sell out Virginians.

His reckless vote could put Virginians directly in harm’s way:

  • Threatening families’ safety due to law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers potentially being forced to work without pay.
  • Blocking 72,688 veterans from accessing critical programs, including employment assistance.
  • Forcing  55,281 federal workers in VA-07 to work without pay.
  • Jeopardizing millions in loan financing for Virginia’s 880,366 small businesses.
  • Limiting access to financial assistance, including disaster relief, for 4,754 farmers.
  • Endangering funding for the Head Start program that serves 9,343 children in Virginia. 

Bottom line: Vindman put a partisan stunt ahead of the livelihoods of everyday Virginians.

“Instead of standing for Virginians, out of touch Democrat Eugene Vindman voted to bring the government to a grinding halt, holding Virginians hostage. Virginians won’t forgive this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
