Republican Shutdown Day One: Luna and Salazar Are MIA, Refuse to Do Their Jobs

As America faces a looming health care crisis, Anna Paulina Luna, María Elvira Salazar, and House Republicans remain on vacation, refusing to lower health costs for Americans

As Floridians wake up to the first day of the Republican shutdown, Anna Paulina Luna, María Elvira Salazar, and House Republicans can’t be bothered to even come to work.

Millions of Americans are poised to get slapped with massive increases on their health care bills this fall, and poll after poll shows that voters want Congress to restore affordable health care and will hold Republicans responsible for their failed agenda.

But instead of doing their job, Luna, Salazar, and Republicans have chosen to not even show up to work this week, cancelling all votes, shutting the government down, and threatening Americans’ livelihoods in the process.

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus
Anna Paulina Luna and María Elvira Salazar helped House Republicans barrel the nation towards a shutdown because they decided that averting skyrocketing health care costs for millions of Americans wasn’t worth their time. Make no mistake, Luna and Salazar own this shutdown, and they own the harm and higher costs facing working Floridians.”
