How Out-of-Touch is Kristen McDonald Rivet?
March 13, 2025
In case you forgot, extreme Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet voted to shut down the government—choosing politics over Michiganders! She turned her back on the very people she claims to fight for, putting partisan games ahead of their livelihood.
- 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.
This week the NRCC launched digital ads targeting Kristen McDonald Rivet for voting to shut down the government:
“Out-of-touch Kristen McDonald Rivet proved she doesn’t care about her constituents—voting to shut down the government. Michiganders deserve a leader who fights for them, not a self-serving politician more focused on stunts than solutions.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
