Ruiz voted for a shutdown that puts food security at risk

Democrat Raul Ruiz 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 Ruiz’s priority list in plain English: closed government, higher costs, fewer protections for the most vulnerable.

“Democrat Raul Ruiz manufactured this shutdown, and now families are bracing for empty pantries. It’s backward, cruel, and totally avoidable.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
