| Hi friend, We are now approaching the third week of this reckless Republican shutdown — and the American people are paying the price. Families are being forced to make impossible choices as healthcare premiums skyrocket, critical services are delayed, and uncertainty spreads. All because House Republicans would rather stage political stunts than do their jobs. Let me be clear: this shutdown is cruel and unnecessary. I’ve called out Republican leadership for their deliberate attacks on healthcare and their refusal to govern responsibly. The longer this drags on, the more people suffer — and that is unacceptable. I’ve been on the House floor, in committees, and in meetings fighting to get the government reopened. Because our communities deserve leadership that delivers — not dysfunction that divides. Today, I’ll be holding a town hall to hear directly from my constituents about how this shutdown is affecting them — and to share why I’m fighting so hard to get our government back to work. Your voices drive my efforts every single day. But I need your help to keep up the fight. Can I count on you to chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can today to help us push back against GOP extremism and demand an end to this shutdown? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Every day this shutdown continues, more families fall behind. It’s time for accountability — and it’s time to get back to work. Thank you for standing with me. — Doris Matsui As a Member of Congress, Doris works to ensure that the voices of her district’s constituents are heard in Congress, and fights for the needs of the Sacramento region.
