Kristen McDonald Rivet is driving America into a Government Shutdown Instead of Fighting for Michiganders

Out-of-touch Democrats are pushing America to the brink of a government shutdown. The clock is ticking—will Kristen McDonald Rivet have the backbone to defy her party bosses and fight for Michiganders, or cave to the radical left?

If Kristen McDonald Rivet chooses to put politics first, here’s how her vote would hurt Michiganders – the very people she purports to help:

• Michiganders’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
• There are 589,326 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
• The 4,861 federal workers in McDonald Rivet’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
• MI-08’s 5,130 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
• Millions in loan financing for Michigan’s 945,788 small businesses will be jeopardized.
• Funding for the Head Start program – which 20,739 children in Michigan rely on – may be cut off.

“Radical Democrats are driving America into a government shutdown, and Kristen McDonald Rivet is right there with them. This unnecessary government shutdown is on Kristen McDonald Rivet—every consequence, every hardship.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
