Nellie Pou failed families in need

While Americans were trying to put food on the table, Nellie Pou doubled down on a political shutdown that put SNAP benefits for over 40 million people at risk. Pou is choosing political theater over feeding families; her refusal to work with common-sense funding solutions forced courts to order emergency action to avoid mass harm. Voters will hold her accountable.

“Nellie Pou shut down the government and left over 40 million Americans scrambling for food, that’s the real cost of her politics.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
