Does Marie Gluesenkamp Perez not care about southwest Washington families at all?
Radical Democrats are pushing for a government shutdown, and out-of-touch Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is hiding. Will she join her Democrat cronies and callously put politics over people, or will she put southwest Washington families first?
If Gluesenkamp Perez chooses to put politics first, here’s how her vote would hurt southwest Washington families — the very people she purports to help:
- Southwest Washington families’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
- There are 561,896 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs — including employment assistance programs.
- The 10,104 federal workers in Gluesenkamp Perez’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
- Millions in loan financing for the state’s 672,472 small businesses will be jeopardized.
- The 3rd district’s 8,724 farmers may not have access to financial assistance — including disaster relief.
- Funding for the Head Start program — which 6,960 children in Washington rely on — may be cut off.
“Shutting down the government will have disastrous — and potentially dangerous — consequences on every single southwest Washington family, but all Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is worried about is scoring political points. It’s almost hard to believe, but that’s exactly how out-of-touch Gluesenkamp Perez and her party really are.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
