Suozzi & Gillen Play Politics: Gambles New Yorkers’ Critical Benefits

Out of touch Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen voted to shut down the government, threatening New Yorkers’ paychecks and benefits. By putting politics ahead of working families, Suozzi and Gillen risked:

• Delaying Social Security and Medicare payments
• Families losing access to food assistance
• Small businesses missing federal loan deadlines

“Instead of protecting families’ paychecks, out of touch Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen voted to grind the government to a halt and risk financial pain for millions. New Yorkers deserve better.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
