Does Kristen McDonald Rivet not care about Michiganders at all?

Radical Democrats are pushing for a government shutdown, and out-of-touch Kristen McDonald Rivet is hiding. Will she join her Democrat cronies and callously put politics over people, or will she put Michiganders first?

If McDonald Rivet chooses to put politics first, here’s how her vote would hurt Michiganders – the very people she purports to help:

• Michiganders’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
• There are 589,326 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
• The 4,861 federal workers in McDonald Rivet’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
• MI-08’s 5,130 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
• Millions in loan financing for Michigan’s 945,788 small businesses will be jeopardized.
• Funding for the Head Start program – which 20,739 children in Michigan rely on – may be cut off.

“Shutting down the government will have disastrous – and potentially dangerous – consequences on every single Michigander, but all Kristen McDonald Rivet is worried about is scoring political points. It’s almost hard to believe, but that’s exactly how out-of-touch McDonald Rivet and her party really is.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
