Riley’s Shutdown Fails New York’s Kids
September 28, 2025
Out of touch Democrat Josh Riley voted to shut down the government, cutting off funding for Head Start programs that serve thousands of children across New York. A shutdown also delays student loan processing, hurting students and families planning for the future.
“Out of touch Democrat Josh Riley sold out students and families with a reckless shutdown vote. New Yorkers deserve a representative who puts kids first, not politics.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
