Pou’s shutdown vote hurt military families

October 13, 2025

Thanks to President Trump, America’s troops will receive their paychecks, despite Democrat Nellie Pou’s vote to shut down the government.

By voting to close the government, Pou threatened soldier pay and voted to hurt military families. It’s past time for Pou to end the political games and reopen the government.

“Out-of-touch Democrat Nellie Pou is playing politics with our troops’ pay. Letting Washington bosses come before America’s heroes is unacceptable. Pou must end this shutdown now.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
