Day 15, and counting, of Henry Cuellar’s shutdown. Out of touch Democrat Henry Cuellar’s shutdown has frozen financial aid processing, leaving millions of students and parents in limbo. FAFSA applications are stalled, federal work-study jobs are unpaid, and families are uncertain about tuition bills.

“Democrat Henry Cuellar promised to fight for education, but delivered nothing but headaches and red tape. Families trying to plan for college are paying for Cuellar’s political games.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
