Darren Soto’s shutdown puts food safety at risk

Out-of-touch Democrat Darren Soto’s shutdown has forced federal food-safety inspectors to scale back operations, risking contamination, product delays, and uncertainty for families who just want to put safe food on the table. While Republicans are working to reopen the government responsibly, Democrats are putting kitchen tables at risk to score political points.

“Democrat Darren Soto’s shutdown is making it harder to ensure safe food for families. It’s reckless, dangerous, and another example of Democrats putting politics ahead of public safety.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
