Josh Riley caved to the left, voted to shut down government

September 21, 2025

On Friday, out of touch Democrat Josh Riley put politics over New Yorkers and voted to shut down the government.

Why? It was his futile attempt to appeal to his radical base and block President Trump’s efforts to cut taxes, protect critical programs, and remove criminal illegal immigrants from our streets.

“Out of touch Democrat Josh Riley voted to risk veterans’ care, military pay, and public safety just to appease his radical base. New Yorkers won’t forgive this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
