McDonald Rivet’s Shutdown Crushes Michigan Small Businesses

Main Street is feeling the squeeze. Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet’s shutdown is choking cash flow for small businesses, freezing SBA loan approvals, stalling federal payments and contracts, and delaying permits and certifications that keep projects moving. The result: paused hires, missed orders, and tighter margins for the local employers Michiganders count on.

“While small businesses are hustling to make payroll and keep the lights on, Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet shut down the government and put Main Street on hold. McDonald Rivet needs to stop the political games and reopen the government so job creators can get back to work.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
