Kristen McDonald Rivet’s Political Games, Your Grocery Pain

October 24, 2025

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

“Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet manufactured this shutdown, and now families are bracing for empty pantries. It’s backward, cruel, and totally avoidable.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
