Rep. Emily Kinkead October 2, 2025 | 4:06 PM
HARRISBURG, Oct. 2 – In response to the federal government shutdown, state Rep. Emily Kinkead released the following statement:
“Republicans control both chambers in Congress and the White House. The GOP is fully responsible for this shutdown. They continue to govern cruelly, cutting SNAP and Medicaid, eliminating tax credits for healthcare, and driving up the costs of essentials like groceries and energy bills for everyday Americans.
“Their cruelty reverberates in our state legislature, too. Here in Harrisburg, the inability of Republicans to govern is hurting our schools, starving local organizations, and abandoning our communities. My Democratic colleagues and I will continue to do everything in our power to govern in a way that best serves the people of Pennsylvania. I am calling on Republicans in Congress and in our state Senate to do the same – stop the chaos, stop the cruelty, and finally put people over politics.”
