Rep. Angie Craig urges Speaker Johnson to reconvene House Republicans to ensure military pay during the government shutdown.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Representative Angie Craig has urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to reconvene House Republicans to pass a bill that would ensure military servicemembers receive pay during the ongoing government shutdown. In a letter to Johnson, Craig highlighted the possibility of nearly three million military families missing their paychecks if no action is taken by the looming October 15 deadline.
Craig, along with 78 Democratic colleagues, called for legislation like the "Pay Our Troops Act" to be brought to a vote. The letter emphasized the need for bipartisan cooperation to ensure that military personnel, as well as essential workers, continue to receive pay during the standoff.
"This is a moment not only to support our troops, but also to show the American people... that our service members and our national security are above politics," the members stated, reiterating the urgency for the legislation to be addressed promptly.
