McDonald Rivet’s Reckless Shutdowns Slams Michiganders

It has officially been one week of the government shutdown and Michiganders are feeling the pressure. 

Each week, Michiganders are losing $361 million in Gross State Product, about $92 million worth of small business loans are getting held up, and over 56,000 workers are furloughed or working without pay. This must end but Kristen McDonald Rivet does not care. She voted for this shut down rather than continuing to fund the government and now she’s placing blame everywhere but on herself. 

“Kristen McDonald Rivet is shameful. She voted to shut down the government and, in turn, is hurting Michiganders. It is high time she stops playing political games with peoples’ livelihoods and works to put Michiganders first.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
