EL CENTRO — With a potential federal government shutdown, Congressman Raul Ruiz (D-CA) issued a stark warning and a resource guide for his constituents, blaming conservative lawmakers for the impending crisis.

“A Conservative government shutdown is just hours away,” Ruiz stated in an email to constituents. “Even with full control of Congress and the White House, their policies are creating chaos that working people can’t afford.”

The congressman pledged to continue fighting to protect health care and lower costs, but with the deadline of September 30, 2025, looming, his office shifted focus to mitigating the immediate impact on residents. He acknowledged the "uncertainty and worry" a shutdown causes and released a comprehensive guide detailing how essential services would be affected.
