Rep. Salud Carbajal urges House Speaker to secure troop pay amid looming Republican shutdown, highlighting financial strains on military families.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal (D-CA) has urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to prioritize the pay of servicemembers amid a potential government shutdown. With a deadline approaching on October 15, Carbajal warned that without a bipartisan funding agreement, military personnel could begin missing paychecks. He stated, “Our troops shouldn’t have to worry about putting food on the table."
Carbajal is a co-sponsor of the Pay Our Troops Act, a bipartisan bill that aims to ensure both servicemembers and civilian employees receive compensation during any shutdown. He criticized congressional Republicans for using the situation as a bargaining chip, asserting that it jeopardizes the well-being of military families.
Furthermore, Democrats have called for any funding resolution to maintain expanded tax credits for health insurance, set to expire at the end of December. If not renewed, it could affect approximately 35,000 residents in Central Coast, leading to higher healthcare costs for many families.
