McDonald Rivet’s Shutdown Vote = Kids Left Behind

September 28, 2025

Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet voted to shut down the government, cutting off funding for Head Start programs that serve thousands of children across Michigan. A shutdown also delays student loan processing, hurting students and families planning for the future.

“Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet sold out students and families with a reckless shutdown vote. Michiganders deserve a representative who puts kids first, not politics.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
