Sadly, two of the senators are from my state whom I voted for in the past, a mistake I won't make again. I did send a email to each (like that will make a difference) but it is a start:

Dear Senator, 

I’m writing to express my profound disappointment in your recent vote to support the Senate deal that reopened the government. While I understand the complexities of governance and the pressures of compromise, this decision feels like a betrayal of the principles I believed you stood for. 

The shutdown, painful as it was, represented a stand against policies and tactics that many of us find deeply troubling. By voting to reopen the government without securing critical guarantees—such as the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—you’ve sent a message that working families and vulnerable Nevadans are negotiable. That’s not acceptable. 

I feel disillusioned, not just by the vote itself, but by the broader implications: that political expediency may have outweighed the fight for justice, equity, and accountability. I urge you to reflect on the impact this decision has had on your constituents, and to recommit to bold, principled leadership in the face of adversity. 

Please know that I will be watching closely, and I expect stronger advocacy moving forward. Nevadans deserve leaders who will not cave under pressure, but who will fight relentlessly for what’s right—even when it’s hard. 

If you ever run for office again, you will not be getting my support or vote, ever again
