The Suozzi and Gillen shutdown = politics first, families last

Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s shutdown is jeopardizing SNAP and WIC benefits, threatening access to nutrition programs that millions of mothers, infants, and children rely on every month. While Republicans are working to protect essential services, Democrats are blocking help for the most vulnerable.

“Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s political games are leaving parents wondering how they’ll feed their kids. Republicans are fighting to reopen the government and protect these critical programs.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
