How out of touch is Josh Riley?

In case you forgot, extreme Democrat Josh Riley voted to shut down the government—choosing politics over New Yorkers! He turned his back on the very people he claims to fight for, putting partisan games ahead of their livelihood.

• New Yorkers’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
• There are 778,522 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
• The 5,309 federal workers in Riley’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
• NY-19’s 8,439 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
• Millions in loan financing for New York’s 2.2 million small businesses will be jeopardized.
• Funding for the Head Start program – which 38,360 children in New York rely on – may be cut off.

This week the NRCC launched a digital ad targeting Josh Riley for voting to shut down the government:

“Out-of-touch Josh Riley proved he doesn’t care about his constituents—voting to shut down the government. New Yorkers deserve a leader who fights for them, not a self-serving politician more focused on stunts than solutions.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
