Riley Bows to His Liberal Bosses While His Constituents Suffer

October 8, 2025

One week in, out of touch Democrat Josh Riley still won’t budge, at least not before October 18, when the radical left plans to bus activists to D.C. That’s not governing; that’s giving away the keys to the liberal base.

While out of touch Riely caters to activists, servicemembers face missed paychecks and Main Street loses certainty. This shutdown belongs to out of touch Democrats, and Josh Riley is choosing chaos over constituents.

“Out of touch Josh Riley has outsourced his job to the far left. If you’re a servicemember waiting on a paycheck or a small business waiting on certainty, Riley’s message is clear: wait until his liberal bosses say it’s ok.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
