Congressman Mark Messmer has issued several statements on his social media platform regarding the ongoing government shutdown, informing constituents about the postponement of official business and providing updates on constituent services.
On October 1, 2025, Messmer posted: "During the Government Shutdown all official business will be postponed. Rescheduled Constituent Service meetings will be posted here as soon as the government resumes the people’s business. Please check back for updated information."
Later that day, he referenced the shutdown with a brief post: "#SchumerShutdown".
On October 2, 2025, Messmer reiterated his earlier message: "During the Government Shutdown all official business will be postponed. Rescheduled Constituent Service meetings will be posted here as soon as the government resumes the people’s business. Please check back for updated information."
Government shutdowns occur when Congress fails to pass funding legislation or obtain presidential approval for federal spending, resulting in a lapse of appropriations and halting many non-essential operations until funding is restored.
