Anna Paulina Luna’s “Shut it down” Government Shutdown Will Hurt the Middle Class, Florida’s Economy

Anna Paulina Luna: “Shut it down.

Our nation is less than three days from an Anna Paulina Luna-led government shutdown, and House Republicans have all but abandoned any hope of averting one to pursue their extreme agenda that attacks Florida’s middle-class families.

This Luna-manufactured shutdown impacts:

  • Over 2,500 federally backed home loans may be delayed every day a shutdown goes on.

  • Small business owners attempting to apply for federal loans to keep their businesses going.

  • Federal efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and fight dangerous fentanyl trafficking, directly impeding law enforcement’s ability to stop the deadly flow of fentanyl across our Southern Border.

  • FEMA’s ability to review and approve applications for aid after a major disaster – including applications for individual assistance – during hurricane season and an unprecedented wildfire season could be severely restricted and delayed.

  • Essential workers – like firefighters, law enforcement officers, and members of the armed forces – would be forced to put their lives on the line without any pay.

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Anna Paulina Luna is openly calling for a government shutdown. The Luna-manufactured shutdown will harm Florida families, small businesses, and economy – and we’ll make it clear to the American public who’s to blame for all the chaos and dysfunction.”
