I am furious that the government remains shut down while the House refuses to return to session or negotiate. This is unacceptable. You were elected to represent us, not to sit on the sidelines while federal workers and families suffer. I want you to fight for tax subsidies to lower the cost of insurance for your constituents. People in your district are struggling to afford basic coverage, and we need solutions — not excuses. Your recent statement blaming Democrats for “holding the government hostage over subsidies for illegal immigrants” is dishonest and insulting. This shutdown is not about immigrants. It’s about Americans — your voters — who are being hurt every day that Congress refuses to act. Stop spreading lies. Go back to work. Reopen the government. Start helping the people you represent.
