Federal workers are about to miss their third paycheck. Families are maxing out credit cards. Savings are gone. And Lauren Boebert and her MAGA allies don’t care.
They’re holding the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of families as political hostages. Empty bank accounts and long lines at food banks is no way to treat our veterans and public servants who keep this country running.
I know what it means when a paycheck doesn’t come through. And I know exactly who’s being hurt the most: working people.
When both my parents were terminally ill, I needed to drop everything to be with them in my hometown of Highlands Ranch, CO. I was a proud member of AFGE Local 3403 at the time, and my fellow union members pulled together to donate their leave so I could care for my parents during their final months without missing a paycheck.
Their kindness changed my life. It taught me the meaning of solidarity and the difference a union makes when life turns upside down.
Now, I’m proud to have AFGE 3403’s endorsement in this race.
My fellow federal workers have my back—and I have their backs too—during this government shutdown, and when I get to Congress.
