Sykes’ Shutdown Scandal: Ohio Families Left Without Food

October 2, 2025

Out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes shut down the government, turning her back on moms, dads, and Ohioans trying to feed their families.  

By forcing a shutdown, Sykes jeopardized funding for food stamps and other food assistance programs, like WIC and SNAP, making it harder for Ohioans to put food on the table and support their families. 

Bottom Line: 1,386,900 Ohioans could be going hungry because of Emilia Sykes’ vote. 

“Democrat Emilia Sykes chose chaos over common sense. Sykes’ shutdown means moms, dads, and their babies who depend on food stamps are left wondering how they’ll get their next meal. Families can’t afford Emilia Sykes’ political games.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
