Suozzi and Gillen’s shutdown leaves service members without pay

Military families are bracing for missed paychecks this week because of Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s reckless shutdown. House Republicans voted to keep pay flowing for America’s service members, but Democrats voted no, choosing politics over patriots.

The result: families wondering how they’ll make rent, cover groceries, or pay bills, and a hit to morale that weakens our national security and military readiness.

“Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown is hurting the heroes who defend our country, and every missed paycheck is a reminder of how out of touch they’ve become.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
