| Ann Wagner has found a new political strategy this week: Let the people go hungry.
Republicans refuse to use emergency funds set aside by Congress for food assistance – effectively cutting off all federal funding for SNAP benefits. This means that, starting November 1st, federal food aid will stop going to the American people.
More than 650,000 Missourians are at risk of losing SNAP benefits that help them put food on their families’ tables – all because Republicans don’t want to spend the money, even though it’s available.
To make matters worse, Wagner refuses to come to work to even try to prevent Missourians from going hungry.
REMINDER: Wagner already voted for the largest cuts to SNAP in history earlier this year, making Americans pay more for their groceries. Now, she is doubling down on her cruelty and holding this key program hostage that feeds Missourians and keeps food affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Ann Wagner fled Washington and refuses to lift a finger to help Missourians who may go hungry and are struggling with the cost of groceries. Voters will remember her cruelty at the ballot box next year.” |
