It’s Day 3️⃣ of the Republican shutdown.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govOct 3(source)

Federal workers & IL13 families shouldn’t be paying the price for Republicans’ refusal to make a deal to reopen the government and save healthcare. That’s why I’ve signed on to bills to protect critical services for constituents and to ensure fair back pay for federal workers during this shutdown.

Budzinski Signs On To Legislation Supporting Families and Federal Workers During Government Shutdown

SPRINGFIELD, IL — Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) announced that she is a cosponsor of the Feed Our Families Act, the Aviation Funding Stability Act, and the Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act to support families and federal workers during the government shutdown. “Federal workers and families in my district shouldn’t be paying the price for Republicans’ refusal to make a deal to reopen […]

TSA agents at MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah are among the millions of essential workers being forced to work without pay during this government shutdown. Today, I brought them pizza to show my appreciation for their dedication and hard work!

Today, I rallied with AFGE members in East St. Louis to call out how this shutdown is disrupting critical services and threatening the livelihoods of federal workers in my district and across the country. We need a deal that reopens the government AND saves healthcare for the American people.

The Wyndham hotel is an iconic landmark on the Springfield skyline – but for too long, it has stood dark, boarded, and blighted. Our capital city deserves better.

As Republicans refuse to do their job and reach a deal that reopens the government and protects Americans’ healthcare, my office remains open and working for you. During these uncertain times, I encourage folks to visit my website or call my office to get federal assistance and share your concerns.

If federal workers aren’t getting paid, I’m not getting paid. I told the Chief Administrative Officer of the House that I will NOT accept my paycheck during this government shutdown.

Amid shutdown, Rep. Budzinski refuses pay as federal workers face furloughs

As the government shutdown continues, elected officials will still receive their salaries, though some are opting to reject their paychecks for the time being.

I wish a meaningful and reflective Yom Kippur to all those observing in IL-13 and around the world. G’mar Chatima Tovah!

It's official: Republicans have shut down the government. I've updated my website to ensure you have all the best information on what this means for you.

If Republicans shut down the government, 2,000 military servicemembers in #IL13 will be forced to work without pay. President Trump and Republicans in Congress would rather make our military go without a paycheck than cut a deal to save Americans’ health care.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govSep 30(source)

Republicans have a choice: fund the government and end their self-made healthcare crisis — or own the shutdown and soaring costs for working people.

Nikki Budzinski@budzinski.house.govSep 29(source)

Last week, my team hit the road to talk with community leaders about how we support them when they apply for state and federal grants! From sharing funding opportunities to writing letters of support, one of our top priorities is ensuring our communities can access the resources they need.
