Costa took union money, then voted against union workers

October 30, 2025

Last week, the largest federal workers’ union called for an immediate end to the Democrat’s shutdown. 

A new report reveals the AFGE has pumped in thousands into the campaign coffers of vulnerable Democrat Jim Costa. Yet Costa voted to shut down the government and against the interests of the union and the government workers that have supported them.

“Out of touch Democrat Jim Costa took workers’ money and ran in the opposite direction. That’s not leadership, and Californians deserve better than Costa’s posturing.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
