Josh Gottheimer is Driving America into a Government Shutdown Instead of Fighting for New Jerseyans

Out-of-touch Democrats are pushing America to the brink of a government shutdown. The clock is ticking—will Josh Gottheimer have the backbone to defy his party bosses and fight for New Jerseyans, or cave to the radical left?

If Gottheimer chooses to put politics first, here’s how his vote will hurt New Jerseyans – the very people he purports to help:

• New Jerseyans’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
• There are 350,538 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
• The 5,760 federal workers in Gottheimer’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
• NJ-05’s 1,724 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
• Millions in loan financing for New Jersey’s 979,085 small businesses will be jeopardized.
• Funding for the Head Start program – which 9,032 children in New Jersey rely on – may be cut off.

“Radical Democrats are driving America into a government shutdown, and Josh Gottheimer is right there with them. This unnecessary government shutdown is on Gottheimer—every consequence, every hardship.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
