Suozzi & Gillen Voted Against Paying Our Troops

October 27, 2025

Military service members are missing paychecks, and families are feeling it. Rent, car payments, and grocery bills don’t stop because Democrats shut down the government. While House Republicans voted to keep pay flowing, Democrats like Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen voted no, putting politics ahead of the patriots who protect this country.

“Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown is more than a political stunt; it’s a direct hit on the men and women defending our nation. Republicans voted to pay the troops; Democrats voted to stiff them. It’s shameful and dangerous to our national security.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
