Congressman David Scott Statement Regarding the Government Shutdown
Washington,
October 2, 2025
WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, U.S. Congressman David Scott released the following statement regarding the Republican government shutdown “After more than six months of blatant attacks aimed at our government with mass agency layoffs, slashing healthcare benefits, and making life more expensive for hard-working Georgians, Republicans have now shut down the federal government. President Trump and the Republicans control every lever of power in Washington. As I have said from the beginning of this failed process, it is reckless and dangerous to force through a hyper-partisan budget that threatens the livelihood of the American people. I have made it clear that we must keep the government open while addressing the health care crisis created by this Administration. Providing the President with a blank check to illegally terminate, freeze or steal funds meant to help families in need would be catastrophic. The people of Georgia deserve better.” ### |
