Congressman Jefferson Shreve (R-IN) has announced that he will forgo his congressional salary if a government shutdown takes place. In the event of a shutdown, Shreve stated he would donate the equivalent amount of his pay to the Johnson County Boys and Girls Club once funding legislation is passed.
The Johnson County Boys and Girls Club in Franklin has operated for over 80 years, offering safe and educational programs for local youth. The organization aims to empower children through various activities designed to help them achieve their potential.
In a statement, Shreve said: "House Republicans have done our job to pass legislation and keep the government open. Hoosiers should not have to pay the price because Democrats insist on playing politics. They have repeatedly voted against a clean, bipartisan funding bill—threatening vital government services and putting hardworking families at risk. I will not accept pay during any shutdown period. Instead, I will later donate that pay to the Johnson County Boys and Girls Club in Franklin. Hoosiers expect a government that works for them—and that’s the standard I’m holding myself to."
