Costa chose political theater over Valley families’ dinner tables

November 6, 2025

While Americans were trying to put food on the table, Jim Costa doubled down on a political shutdown that put SNAP benefits for over 40 million people at risk. Costa is choosing political theater over feeding families; their refusal to work with common-sense funding solutions forced courts to order emergency action to avoid mass harm. Voters will hold them accountable.

“Jim Costa shut down the government and left over 40 million Americans scrambling for food, that’s the real cost of their politics.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
