Republican Shutdown Day One: Monica De La Cruz Is MIA, Refuses to Do Her Job

As America faces a looming health care crisis, Monica De La Cruz and House Republicans remain on vacation, refusing to lower health costs for Americans

As Texans wake up to the first day of the Republican shutdown, Monica De La Cruz 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, Monica De La Cruz 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
Monica De La Cruz 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, Monica De La Cruz owns this shutdown, and they own the harm and higher costs facing working Texans.”
