Nellie Pou chose politics instead of protecting families

Out-of-touch Democrat Nellie Pou’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 Nellie Pou’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
