Soto’s Shutdown: Vacations Canceled, Businesses Hurt

October 5, 2025

Shuttered visitor centers, canceled family vacations, and communities losing millions in economic impact from closed National Parks across Florida. That’s the reality created by Democrat Darren Soto’s vote to shut down the government. Instead of protecting jobs, families, and small businesses that depend on tourism, Soto chose politics and chaos. 

“Out-of-touch Democrat Darren Soto chose politics over families — closing our parks, canceling trips, and cutting off the small businesses that depend on them.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
