Washington House Republicans Block Vote on Rep. Emilia Sykes’ Bipartisan “Pay Our Military Act” to Pay Troops During Shutdown

Yes, you read that right.

Earlier today, Republicans in Congress BLOCKED Rep. Emilia Sykes’ bipartisan “Pay Our Military Act” that would ensure members of the military receive their paychecks – as active-duty military members are set to miss their first paychecks during the ongoing Republican shutdown.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“While House Republicans are playing political games with our service members’ livelihoods, Congresswoman Emilia Sykes is fighting to deliver the paychecks they deserve.”
