How out of touch is Josh Gottheimer?
In case you forgot, extreme Democrat Josh Gottheimer voted to shut down the government—choosing politics over New Jerseyans! He turned his back on the very people he claims to fight for, putting partisan games ahead of their livelihood.
- New Jerseyans’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
- There are 350,538 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
- The 5,760 federal workers in Gottheimer’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
- NJ-05’s 1,724 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
- Millions in loan financing for New Jersey’s 979,085 small businesses will be jeopardized.
- Funding for the Head Start program – which 9,032 children in New Jersey rely on – may be cut off.
This week the NRCC launched a digital ad targeting Josh Gottheimer for voting to shut down the government:

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