NJ families stranded while Nellie Pou plays politics

November 2, 2025

Yesterday, Head Start funding ran dry because Nellie Pou refuses to reopen the government, leaving working parents and vulnerable kids stranded.

“Nellie Pou made her priorities clear: illegal immigrants get the resources and attention, while New Jersey families and their children are left to fend for themselves. Working parents who rely on Head Start were abandoned and Nellie Pou still refuses to act.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
