As congressional Republicans allowed for a government shutdown to go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on October 1, Rep. LaMonica McIver released the following statement:
"Republicans have literally shut down the government rather than take action to keep healthcare costs from going through the roof. Democrats remain ready to work. It’s time for Republicans to do their jobs."
In spite of Republicans' unwillingness to come to the table and do the right thing for the American people, McIver is still working and ready to serve. Her offices remain open to assist constituents. Shutdown FAQ is available here, and the office will continue to process casework and constituent requests online and at (973) 645-3213.
