Day 9: Raul Ruiz’s Shutdown Stiffs Our Troops

Today is Day 9 of Raul Ruiz’s government shut down. By closing the government, Ruiz and other Democrats are denying paychecks to our military servicemembers, law enforcement, and border patrol agents. While Republicans voted to keep America open and secure, Democrats chose politics over those who protect us.

“Shutting down the government to score political points is disgraceful. The fact that Democrats like Raul Ruiz are willing to stiff our troops and law enforcement says everything you need to know about their priorities.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
