John, Republicans’ incompetence should not be the reason Americans lose critical housing assistance that helps keep a roof over their heads.
But today, that threat is hanging over all of our heads. As we face yet another government funding deadline, zealots in the House Freedom Caucus are jeopardizing low-income Americans, seniors, people with disabilities, and families with children.
I’m calling on you to join me in saying enough is enough. Add your name as a citizen cosponsor of the legislation I introduced, the Affordable Housing Stability During Shutdowns Act, to exempt federal rental assistance from the impact of a government shutdown.
Far-right MAGA Republicans don’t compromise. They don’t negotiate. They don’t even agree among themselves.
Their last fight over a government funding bill culminated in the ousting of Speaker Kevin McCarthy — and now, the new GOP Speaker Mike Johnson’s job is on the line.
The MAGA Republican Party is no longer a governing party. It is a havoc-wreaking cult of personality of the former president.
Losing housing assistance during a government shutdown could cause severe harm — even economic ruin — for:
- 2 million people in low-income households
- 400,000 low-income seniors
- 1.1 million people with long-term disabilities
- Nearly 300,000 rural Americans
No matter what the outcome of this most recent MAGA-driven government funding fight may be, this must be the last time we allow them to throw millions of vulnerable Americans under the bus in service of their incoherent political aims.
Add your name as a citizen cosponsor of my Affordable Housing Stability During Shutdowns Act today.
Thanks for joining me in speaking up for this important issue at such a critical time. Your voice makes a real difference.
