Because of Andy Ogles, 700,000 Tennesseans risk having food ripped off their dinner tables
Andy Ogles has found a new political strategy this week: Let the people go hungry.
Starting November 1st, federal food aid will stop going to the American people because Republicans refuse to use emergency funds set aside by Congress for food assistance – effectively cutting off all federal funding for SNAP benefits.
While 700,000 Tennesseans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits that help them put food on their families’ tables because Republicans don’t want to spend the money – even though it’s available – Ogles is refusing to get back to work.
REMINDER: Andy Ogles already voted for the largest cuts to SNAP in history earlier this year, making Americans pay more for their groceries. Now, he is doubling down on his cruelty and holding this key program hostage that feeds Tennesseans and keeps food affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Andy Ogles fled Washington and refuses to lift a finger to help Tennesseans who may go hungry and are struggling with the cost of groceries. Voters will remember his cruelty at the ballot box next year.”
