Oct 23, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Ashley Moody is fighting to eliminate government shutdowns once and for all by cosponsoring the Eliminate Shutdowns Act. Congress routinely faces a government shutdown in the event the funding process is not completed by fiscal year end. Government shutdowns do not serve the American people, cost billions of dollars, and harm the U.S. economy. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) originally introduced the bill.
Senator Ashley Moodysaid, “The Democrats have been holding the American people hostage for more than 20 days now—and each day the Schumer Shutdown continues is another day that our troops, law enforcement officers, federal and essential workers go without pay. As one of the country’s newest Senators, I’m working hard to bring sanity to D.C., and that’s why I’m cosponsoring the Eliminate Shutdowns Act so our government can remain open and working for the American people.”

Additionally, at the beginning of the month, Senator Moody announced she will be donating her taxpayer-funded salary each day the federal government is shut down following the Democrats’ and Senator Chuck Schumer’s refusal to fund the government.
