Sykes’ Shutdown Sinks Ohio

October 7, 2025

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

Each week, Ohioans are losing $478 million in Gross State Product, about $100 million worth of small business loans are getting held up, and over 83,000 workers are furloughed or working without pay. This must end but Emilia Sykes 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. 

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