Whitesides’ Shutdown Puts Californians at Risk

October 10, 2025

Heading into a busy travel weekend, air traffic controllers are warning that George Whitesides’ government shutdown is putting unnecessary stress on the system. Because of out of touch Democrat Whitesides’ shutdown, controllers are working without pay. Here’s what one had to say:

“When someone responsible for thousands of lives a day is worrying about whether they can pay rent or feed their kids, focus suffers. Sometimes that small moment where your mind is elsewhere can have serious impacts.”

Bottom line: George Whitesides put a partisan stunt ahead of the livelihoods of everyday Californians.

“Out of touch Democrat George Whitesides shut down the government and created chaos in the skies. Democrats like Whitesides can’t be trusted to keep Californians safe or moving.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
