Thanks to Kristen McDonald Rivet’s Shutdown, TSA Workers Go Without Pay & the Skies are Less

March 27, 2026

Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet callously voted to shut down the Department of Homeland Security, and now? TSA workers are forced to work without pay, and the skies are less safe.

As Michigan families try to travel for Spring break, their plans are being grounded by longer security lines, flight delays, and cancellations.

Instead of keeping the skies safe and hardworking Americans paid, Kristen McDonald Rivet is playing politics.

“Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet is playing politics with lives and paychecks, and it’s unacceptable. Kristen McDonald Rivet is in Congress to serve Michigan families, not make their lives more difficult and less safe.”  – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
