WATCH my update on how Team Owens is helping Utahns during the shutdown here or above.
As you may know, this is now the second-longest government shutdown in American history and Utah families are feeling it every day.
More than 40,000 Utah federal workers are furloughed or working without pay.
SNAP benefits are projected to run out on November 1, putting 86,000 Utah households at risk.
Small business loans and federal contracts are frozen, creating strain across Main Street communities.
All because Senate Democrats refused to support a clean, nonpartisan bill to keep the government open.
I voted to keep the government OPEN and I’ll keep working to end this unnecessary shutdown.
My West Jordan and Washington, D.C. offices remain open, and our caseworkers are standing by to help with:
Social Security, Medicare, and VA benefits
Small business or SBA loan issues
Passport and travel delays
IRS, USDA, or other federal agency cases
If you or someone you know is being affected by the shutdown, whether it’s delayed benefits, travel questions, or help with a federal agency, please don’t wait.
