The article reports that several members of Congress from both the Democratic and Republican parties have voluntarily asked to have their pay withheld during the ongoing government shutdown. They argue that they should face the same financial consequences as federal workers and military personnel who are working without pay. among the Republicans requesting to forgo their paychecks are Representatives Chip Roy, Gus Bilirakis, Tom Barrett, and others, including the entire Iowa House delegation.On the Democratic side,lawmakers such as Suhas Subramanyam,Seth Moulton,and Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim have also made similar requests<\/a>. These members believe it is unfair for congress to continue receiving salaries while federal employees suffer due to the funding lapse. The government shutdown began on October 1, 2025, after the Senate failed to pass a short-term funding bill<\/a>, leading to a political standoff with both parties blaming each other for the impasse.
