Vasquez’s Shutdown Hurts Military Families and National Security

October 26, 2025

Military servicemembers are missing their paychecks, which can impact our national security and military readiness, as well as make it harder for servicemembers to pay their bills. Out-of-touch Democrat Gabe Vasquez voted to shut down the government and deny pay to those who defend our nation, choosing politics over patriotism.

“While House Republicans voted to keep paychecks flowing for America’s servicemembers, Democrat Gabe Vasquez voted no, putting politics before the people who protect us. Every missed paycheck weakens our readiness and disrespects our heroes.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
