Little Rock, AR – On Friday, Americans for Prosperity—Arkansas (AFP-AR) State Director Ryan Norris published an op-ed in the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette entitled, “End the shutdown – Arkansas families deserve better.”
Read excerpts of the article below:
“These theatrics from Democratic leadership in Washington are inflicting real pain in the Natural State. There are over 14,000 federal civilian employees here in Arkansas, hardworking parents, veterans, and public servants.”
…
“Each week, this chaos erodes $15 billion from our national GDP, hitting Arkansas’ small businesses, farms, and military families hardest.”
…
“That is why, at Americans for Prosperity, we champion free markets and limited government that empowers people, not paralyzes them. Shutdowns like this–fueled by partisan posturing from Senate Democrats under Leader Schumer–betray our trust. They waste taxpayer dollars, undermine national security by straining recruitment and supply chains, and close regional veterans’ benefits offices when heroes need them most.”
