Republican Shutdown Day One: Miller-Meeks and Nunn MIA, Refuse to Do Their Jobs

As America faces a looming health care crisis, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Zach Nunn, and House Republicans remain on vacation, refusing to lower health costs for Americans

As Iowans wake up to the first day of the Republican shutdown, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Zach Nunn, 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 jobs, Miller-Meeks, Nunn, 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 Katie Smith:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn 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, Miller-Meeks and Nunn own this shutdown, and they own the harm and higher costs facing working Iowans.”
