"By the end of this week, we will both be temporarily laid off, taking our household incomes from two to zero," she said.
New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez tweeted a message Thursday from a Federal Aviation Administration employee who lives in Absecon about the federal government shutdown.
Karen — no last name provided — and her husband work for the FAA, which has an Egg Harbor facility. Menendez shared the following typed message from Karen:
"My husband and I are both government contractors working with the Federal Aviation Administration. By the end of this week, we will both be temporarily laid off, taking our household incomes from two to zero. We have a mortgage to pay and two children to feed, one of whom misses her friends at the federally-run daycare center we cannot afford to send her to now."
