A handful of Democrats and Republicans are asking that their pay be withheld during the government shutdown, arguing that they should face the same consequences as federal workers and agents. All four members of the Iowa delegation to the House have also decided to forgo pay until the government reopens. Members of Congress – including the Senate Democrats – shouldn’t take a paycheck either. Members of Congress shouldn’t get paid while our federal employees and troops on the frontlines go without. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Andy Kim (D-NJ), are asking for their pay to be withheld.
