Bynum’s shutdown hurt Oregon families relying on SNAP

November 3, 2025

Millions of Americans are losing access to SNAP because Janelle Bynum chose political brinkmanship over keeping government services running. While families struggle with rising food costs and rely on these benefits to put meals on the table, Bynum prioritized leverage and headlines instead of protecting vulnerable households. Bynum’s shutdown stunt has real consequences and hardworking families are paying the price.

“Families counting on SNAP to feed their kids shouldn’t suffer because Janelle Bynum chose politics over people. Bynum’s shutdown games are punishing those who need help the most, and voters won’t forget who turned their backs on struggling Americans.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
