In response to Senator Cruz voting against a bipartisan plan to avoid a government shutdown, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Amanda Sherman Baity issued the following statement:
“Instead of joining Republicans and Democrats who voted to keep the government open, Cruz pushed our country towards a devastating government shutdown that would disrupt the services Texans rely on. Once again, Cruz refused to do his job, prioritized his petty, self-serving politics over what’s best for his state, and gave voters in Texas another reason to fire him in November.”
The DSCC previously launched an advertising campaign highlighting how Cruz’s government shutdown would threaten Social Security and raise costs.
