Today, Rep. David Schweikert joined his fellow Republicans and voted to shut down the government, recklessly threatening our economy and risking critical government services.
If Rep. Schweikert had it his way, Arizonans who are employed by the federal government would be furloughed without pay, our national security would be at risk, and Arizona families who rely on federal benefits would be left on their own.
While the GOP is busy censuring their own members and Schweikert avoids answering whether he thinks the deadly January 6th attack that the GOP’s ‘Big Lie’ incited was “legitimate political discourse,” Schweikert chose to follow his extremist Washington party bosses instead of doing his job.
“David Schweikert once again voted to shut down the government despite knowing the damage it would inflict on Arizona families and economy,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. “Voters deserve better than extremist Republicans like Schweikert who consistently turns his back on his constituents.”
