Hi John,
 Connecticut’s Second District has more federal workers than any other district in our state. These hardworking folks protect our coastlines, maintain our world-class naval vessels, and keep our communities safe — and right now, most of these folks are going without a paycheck because of Republican inaction.
 
 Let’s be clear: if Republicans in Congress refuse to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will spike across the board for families, seniors, and small business owners.
 
 If you agree that’s wrong, can you please chip in a few dollars today to help us meet our end-of-month goal?
   
Joe Courtney has deferred his pay during this shutdown, but most Republicans in Congress are all too happy to continue to collect a check while our federal workers go without. These lost paychecks have real consequences for our friends and neighbors, and Joe won’t stop fighting for the folks who keep our nation strong. Thanks for your support,
 
 Team Courtney
