Reckless Josh Riley Voted to Shut it All Down: New Yorkers Deserve Better

September 26, 2025

Out of touch Democrat Josh Riley voted to shut down the government, threatening New Yorkers’ paychecks and benefits. By putting politics ahead of working families, Riley risked:

  • Delaying Social Security and Medicare payments
  • Families losing access to food assistance
  • Small businesses missing federal loan deadlines

Instead of protecting families’ paychecks, out of touch Democrats Josh Riley voted to grind the government to a halt and risk financial pain for millions. New Yorkers deserve better.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
