Day 21: Sykes Put Partisan Politics Over Those Who Protect Us

October 21, 2025

While House Republicans voted to keep America’s government open and ensure our servicemembers get paid, Emilia Sykes voted no, putting politics before the patriots who protect us. Now, even after President Trump stepped in and fixed their mess, Sykes still won’t answer one simple question: why did she vote against paying our troops?

“Emilia Sykes voted to shut down the government, cut off pay to our servicemembers, and then tried to spin her way out of it. The American people won’t forget who stood with the troops, and who turned their backs.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
