Jared Golden’s Democrats jeopardized food assistance for Maine families

October 25, 2025

Out-of-touch Democrat Jared Golden’s party shut down the government, and it is jeopardizing SNAP and WIC benefits, threatening access to nutrition programs that millions of mothers, infants, and children rely on every month. While Republicans are working to protect essential services, Democrats are blocking help for the most vulnerable.

“Out of touch Jared Golden’s Democrats’ political games are leaving parents wondering how they’ll feed their kids. Republicans are fighting to reopen the government and protect these critical programs.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
