Alea Nadeem Condemns Rep. Kaptur’s Reckless Vote to Shut Down Government

TOLEDO, OH – Today, conservative Republican and congressional candidate Alea Nadeem issued the following statement condemning Rep. Marcy Kaptur’s reckless vote to shut down the federal government:

“Marcy Kaptur has once again betrayed the hardworking people of Ohio’s 9th District by shutting down the government – all to protect free health care giveaways for illegal immigrants, hundreds of billions in waste fraud and abuse in the healthcare system, and to appease her California and New York donors,” Nadeem said.

“This isn’t leadership. It’s the worst of Washington partisanship that risks paychecks for our military, care for our veterans, and support for our police and Border Patrol agents. While families in Toledo and across Ohio worry about making ends meet, Kaptur is holding our economy hostage to fund benefits for those who broke our laws to be here,” Nadeem said.

“This shameful vote is just the latest example of Kaptur rubberstamping the radical agenda of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. She’s pandering to her far-left, anti-Trump base and still fighting for policies that flood our communities with unchecked illegal immigration and drain resources from American citizens. Enough is enough. Ohio deserves a representative who puts our families first – not one who puts New York and California extremism first.” Nadeem concluded.
