flag Ohio Senator Jon Husted introduces bill to ensure military and defense workers keep getting paid during the ongoing government shutdown.

flag Ohio Senator Jon Husted has introduced the Pay Our Military Act to ensure military personnel, civilian employees, and contractors at the Defense and Homeland Security departments continue receiving pay during the ongoing government shutdown that began October 1, 2025. flag While some service members were paid using existing funds, future payments remain uncertain. flag The bill serves as a backup, with Husted urging Congress to pass a clean continuing resolution or full defense appropriations bill instead. flag He supports the "No Budget, No Pay" Act and has pledged to forgo his own salary until funding is restored. flag The legislation covers all military branches and addresses financial instability affecting thousands, including workers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
