Nellie Pou’s Shutdown Puts Food Assistance on the Chopping Block

October 24, 2025

Democrat Nellie Pou shut down the government, and working families are paying for it at the checkout line. November food stamp benefits are now in jeopardy, creating real uncertainty for seniors, single parents, and every family trying to stretch a grocery budget.

This is Nellie Pou’s priority list in plain English: closed government, higher costs, fewer protections for the most vulnerable.

“Democrat Nellie Pou manufactured this shutdown, and now families are bracing for empty pantries. It’s backward, cruel, and totally avoidable.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
