How Out-of-Touch is Raul Ruiz?
In case you forgot, extreme Democrat Raul Ruiz voted to shut down the government—choosing politics over Californians! He turned his back on the very people he claims to fight for, putting partisan games ahead of their livelihood.
- Californians’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
- There are 1.6 million veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs — including employment assistance programs.
- The 7,735 federal workers in Ruiz’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
- The 25th district’s 2,204 farmers may not have access to financial assistance — including disaster relief.
- Millions in loan financing for the state’s 4.2 million small businesses will be jeopardized.
- Funding for the Head Start program — which 50,574 children in California rely on — may be cut off.
This week the NRCC launched digital ads targeting Ruiz for voting to shut down the government:

“Out-of-touch Raul Ruiz proved he doesn’t care about his constituents—voting to shut down the government. Californians deserve a leader who fights for them, not a self-serving politician more focused on stunts than solutions.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
