Air traffic controllers work under stressful conditions requiring them to be at the top of their game, but the GOP gov shutdown is forcing them to work w/out pay.
Spoke to Fox 7 about how this impacts Central Texans, as our airport has long been understaffed w/only 27 of the 60 controllers we need.

Trump’s gov shutdown is a continuation of his ongoing hatchet job. Firing thousands of workers since January and now over 4,000 more. This has never happened in a shutdown.
More of the same cruel agenda to cut livelihoods & essential programs that protect cybersecurity, public health, and more.
As we approach Open Enrollment season, Austinites are about to be hit with enormous health insurance premium spikes.
Why? Because Republicans let the government shut down instead of negotiating with Democrats to save ACA health care tax credits.
A world free of violence begins with a home free from violence.
Pleased to announce nearly $17 million for The National Domestic Violence Hotline based in Austin to help sustain operations that save lives, reduce crime, protect families, and strengthen our communities.
While the most difficult issues for a durable peace remain to be resolved, Israeli and Palestinian families can begin to at last feel some sense of relief if an immediate ceasefire, hostage deal, and surge in humanitarian aid to Gaza can take place over the next few days. (2/2)
Welcome news that Israel and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of a plan to end the devastating war in Gaza and finally bring the hostages home. (1/2)
Texas is a leader in solar & wind energy, yet Trump sells us out with giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.
Texans are left in the dark as our health is endangered by more air pollution. Meanwhile, Trump yields world leadership to China for clean energy technology—and its many economic benefits.
Diverting federal agents from fentanyl, child-exploitation & other criminal investigations to meet Stephen Miller’s mass-deportation quota targeting productive, law-abiding immigrants leaves families less secure.
Dangerous demagoguery, misallocation of law enforcement resources endangers America.
Trump and Republicans shut down the federal government last week, forcing our military and many civil servants to work without pay, while thousands more are furloughed.
Republicans can stop this inflicted pain and health insurance premium price spikes, but they have to agree to negotiate.
Donald Trump is calling for the arrest of an elected Illinois Governor and Chicago Mayor. Not because they've committed any crime, but because they're standing up to a lawless president.
This is straight out of his tyrant’s playbook and should concern every freedom-loving American.
As usual, Greg Abbott is an eager accomplice to Trump's wrongdoing. The illegal deployment of US troops against US citizens has never been about crime or immigration; Trump only wants to normalize the misuse of our military against his opponents.
Our Texas Guard should be serving Texans, not Trump.
Trump said he'd lower prices on day one; they increased. Then he gave Big Pharma until Sep 29 to lower drug prices to what consumers pay in other countries, or face tariffs. Big Pharma didn't lower prices. More broken promises/empty threats as manufacturers dodge accountability & Americans struggle.
Great to see Austin Habitat for Humanity CEO Michele Anderson, COO Wayne Gerami & Director of Community Affairs Greg Anderson. Appreciative of their work to expand affordable housing opportunities across Central Texas.
Looking forward to celebrating their 2025 Carter Work Project in Whisper Valley!
The Republicans' government shutdown means thousands of FAA employees are furloughed, while our air traffic controllers and TSA agents are forced to work without pay.
Those traveling for ACL Weekend 2 or F1 can expect longer wait times, delays, and possible ground stops.
In typical Trump fashion, his admin hides facts that prove its failed economic policies hurt American families. Rising grocery prices make it harder to put food on the table.
Scrapping a decades-long USDA report ignores this pain and undermines our ability to deliver help to those most in need.
My statement on the two years since October 7, 2023.
Those aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, like Austinite Greg Stoker, drew critical attention to Netanyahu’s endless war by starvation w/their attempt to reach Gaza with humanitarian aid.
After working to facilitate Greg’s release from Israeli custody, I look forward to welcoming him home to Austin.
With a compliant Congress ready to do Trump’s bidding, American taxpayers will soon have to open their wallets to send billions more in welfare payments to farmers for markets they lost through his unwinnable trade war.
This is on top of Trump's tariff taxes costing families $2,400 more a year.
When Republicans aren’t lying about undocumented immigrants getting taxpayer-funded health care, they’re hijacking civil servants’ emails to spread partisan propaganda.
This must be stopped. I strongly support related lawsuits brought by Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group.
