Suozzi and Gillen’s shutdown chaos leaves Long Island seniors behind

October 22, 2025

Thanks to Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown, Social Security Administration workers have been furloughed, delaying critical benefits and disrupting the services millions of seniors rely on. 

“Out of touch Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen voted to shut down the government and left millions of seniors out to dry. It’s reckless, heartless, and exactly what’s wrong with DC Democrats like Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
