A Republican government shutdown would hurt working families, damage our economy, interrupt vital services, endanger our national security, and force millions of our troops and government employees to work without pay.

In MA-01, if House Republicans shut down the government:

• More than 37,000 individuals who receive health coverage under the Affordable Care Act would face higher premiums or lose their healthcare altogether.
• Approximately 23,816 people, including 4,760 infants and 15,196 children, in MA-01 would lose access to Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) benefits in a prolonged shutdown.
• 8,744 federal workers in MA-01 would be furloughed or forced to work without pay during a total government shutdown, in addition to the many employees of businesses with government contracts who could be laid off, furloughed, or see their hours cut.

Whether you’re one of the millions of Americans at risk of facing high premiums or losing their healthcare, losing access to SNAP or WIC, or a furloughed federal employee, I want to hear from you. Help me fight back by sharing your story.
