McDonald Rivet Ranks Party Over Patriots

October 2, 2025

Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet turned her back on America’s heroes. 

By voting to shut down the government, out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet risked Michigan’s 516,758 veterans’ access to critical programs they earned, from employment assistance to health care and support services. Veterans who fought for this country are being forced to fight Washington bureaucracy because McDonald Rivet chose politics over people.

“Out of touch Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet voted to turn her back on veterans, cutting them off from the benefits they earned and dishonoring their sacrifices. Democrats can’t be trusted to respect our heroes or taxpayers’ money.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
