JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Today, Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) announced he will be holding a telephone town hall tomorrow, Tuesday September 30^th at 7 PM focused on President Trump and congressional Republicans’ failure to stand up for working families and instead, lead us into a government shutdown.

Midnight on September 30^th is the deadline to reach an agreement on a spending bill and avoid a complete government shutdown. During the call tomorrow, Senator Kim will provide updates on the latest from congress surrounding the possibility of a government shutdown, including congressional Republicans’ refusal to address the looming expiration of enhanced premium tax credits that will lead to thousands of New Jerseyans seeing higher healthcare premiums or loss of coverage if not extended by the end of this year. He will also address the Trump administration’s plans to continue mass firings at federal agencies that deliver public services to American families and his work in the Senate to stop the President’s breaches of executive authority, including the President blocking congressionally approved funding via rescission packages.
