COSTA COSTLY CHAOS: Sold Out California

Last week, out of touch Democrat Jim Costa voted to shut down the government and sell out Californians.

His reckless vote could put Californians directly in harm’s way:

• Threatening families’ safety due to law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers may be forced to work without pay.
• Blocking 18,929 veterans from accessing critical programs, including employment assistance.
• Forcing 6,297 federal workers in CA-21 to work without pay.
• Jeopardizing millions in loan financing for the state’s 4.3 million small businesses.
• Limiting access to financial assistance, including disaster relief, for 5,006 farmers.
• Endangering funding for the Head Start program that serves 44,106 children in California. 

Bottom line: Jim Costa put a partisan stunt ahead of the livelihoods of everyday Californians.

“Instead of standing for Californians out of touch Democrat Jim Costa voted to bring the government to a grinding halt, holding Californians hostage. Californians won’t forgive this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
