If Republicans shut down the government, 45,000 Illinoisans could lose their paychecks. Families will feel it at the doctor’s office and grocery store. Republicans don’t care.

Democrats are fighting to keep the government open and protect your health care.

Read DPI Chair Hernandez’s statement ⬇️

DPI Chair Lisa Hernandez responds to looming Republican government shutdown:

“Donald Trump and his allies – including Illinois Representatives Mary Miller (IL-15), Mike Bost (IL-12), and Darin LaHood (IL-16) – would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats to prevent a massive health care crisis for hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans. Republicans are responsible for these skyrocketing costs, and when Democrats offered them a chance to reverse their devastating cuts to health care, they flat-out rejected it. As Trump and Republicans barrel toward a government shutdown that would furlough 45,000 federal workers in Illinois and throw our economy into even more chaos, Democrats are united: cancel the cuts, lower costs, and save health care for Illinoisans.”
