State Rep. Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) today announced that she is committed to helping alleviate the strain this unprecedented federal government shutdown is putting on families in her district.

“This irresponsible shutdown is putting undue pressure on our state and local agencies, which have been forced to compensate for this White House’s dereliction of duty,” said Russo. “Thousands of federal workers and contractors here in Ohio have already missed one paycheck and cannot afford to miss another. I urge the Trump Administration and Congress to reopen the government immediately and stop playing political chess with people’s livelihoods.”

Russo is part of a freshman class of new Democratic State Representatives who were elected to bring a fresh perspective to the Statehouse.
