Suozzi & Gillen’s shutdown left millions at risk

While Americans were trying to put food on the table, Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen doubled down on a political shutdown that put SNAP benefits for over 40 million people at risk. Suozzi and Gillen are 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.

“Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen shut down the government and left over 40 million Americans scrambling for food, that’s the real cost of their politics.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
