Nellie Pou’s Shutdown Put NJ Veterans’ Benefits at Risk

Democrat Nellie Pou turned her back on America’s heroes. 

By voting to shut down the government, out of touch Democrat Nellie Pou risked New Jersey’s 299,271 veterans’ access to critical programs they earned, from employment assistance to health care and support services. Veterans who fought for this country are being forced to fight Washington bureaucracy because Pou chose politics over people.

“Out of touch Democrat Nellie Pou voted to turn her back on veterans, cutting them off from the benefits they earned and dishonoring their sacrifices. Democrats can’t be trusted to respect our heroes or taxpayers’ money.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
