October 22, 2025

Out of touch Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown has frozen lifesaving medical research, paused cancer trials, and left scientists locked out of labs. Families waiting for treatments are paying for Suozzi and Gillen’s political games.

“Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown is stopping progress and hurting patients. It’s cruel, callous, and completely avoidable.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
