Suozzi and Gillen’s shutdown slams seniors

October 11, 2025

Out of touch Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown is a gut punch to seniors. By voting to close the government, Suozzi and Gillen are risking delays in Medicare help and Social Security services, piling stress onto people who rely on them every single day.

new report warns seniors in New York could even see delays in their Social Security cost-of-living adjustment, leaving less money for groceries, gas, and prescriptions.

“Instead of protecting seniors, out of touch Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen are jamming up Social Security. Seniors won’t forget this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
