Ruiz’s priorities: politics over patriots

October 21, 2025

While House Republicans voted to keep America’s government open and ensure our servicemembers get paid, Raul Ruiz, put politics before the patriots who protect us. Now, even after President Trump stepped in and fixed their mess, Ruiz still won’t answer one simple question: why did they vote against paying our troops?

“Raul Ruiz shut down the government, cut off pay to our servicemembers, and then tried to spin their way out of it. The American people won’t forget who stood with the troops, and who turned their backs.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
