Nellie Pou Put Socialist Politics Over Reopening the Government

November 12, 2025

Nellie Pou and House Democrats forced hardworking New Jerseyans to suffer through the longest government shutdown in a disgusting and shameless display of just how far left they will go to appease their radical socialist base and earn political “leverage.”

Finally, after achieving nothing for 42 days except furloughing workers, grounding flightsrisking pay for troops, and union after union begging them to stop the chaos, the Senate and House of Representatives has passed funding to reopen the government. 

Unfortunately for New Jerseyans, Pou voted no. 

“Nellie Pou and the Democrat Party’s government shutdown was nothing more than a disgusting and shameless display of just how far they will go to appease their radical socialist base. New Jersey voters won’t forget it.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
