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.
Among the Republicans asking for their paychecks to be paused are Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Tom Barrett (R-MI), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Bob Latta (R-OH), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), Young Kim (R-CA), and Rob Bresnahan (R-PA). All four members of the Iowa delegation to the House have also decided to forgo pay until the government reopens.
