ICYMI: Congressman Derrick Van Orden Stands With Wisconsinites as Democrats Play Political Games

Democrats 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.

Local reporting highlighted that, “more than 40 million Americans rely on those benefits including 700,000 people here in Wisconsin.”

“While Democrats play partisan political games putting food stamps at risk for 700,000 Wisconsinites, Congressman Derrick Van Orden is doing what he always does: fighting for Wisconsin families. Democrats stage dangerous stunts; Republicans fight for commonsense solutions.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

House Republicans passed a clean CR to fund the federal government, but Senate Democrats have now voted 13 times to keep the government closed. Congressman Derrick Van Orden stated:“What it’s going to take to end this shutdown is for the Democrats and the Senate to put the American people above their party affiliation. That’s what it’s going to take.”
