Perez’s Shutdown Strands Small Businesses in SW Washington

October 1, 2025

When out of touch Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez REFUSED to vote to keep the government open, she cut off SBA loans, choked off growth for 695,695 small businesses in Washington, and left entrepreneurs stranded without the tools they need to create jobs. Main Street is paying the price for Perez’s political games. 

If Marie Gluesenkamp Perez actually cared about small businesses in Washington, she would demand Democrats stop playing politics with people’s livelihoods and reopen the government.

“Out of touch Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voted to crush small businesses and stall our economy; proving again Democrats can’t be trusted with taxpayers’ money.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
