Delaney to Donate Any Congressional Pay During Shutdown to Charity

WASHINGTON – Congressman John K. Delaney (MD-6) will donate any congressional pay he receives during the current government shutdown to a local charity. Congressman Delaney will donate to the Mercy Health Clinic in Gaithersburg. 

“I don’t think it’s right for me to get paid during a government shutdown while my constituents are being furloughed and important and necessary services are being limited or halted all together,” said Congressman Delaney. “It’s time to be responsible and come together on a bipartisan deal to fund the government.”  

In 2013, Congressman Delaney also donated his salary received during the government shutdown to Mercy Health Clinic.
