| Gabe Evans 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 580,000 Coloradans 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, Evans refuses to come to work to even try to prevent Coloradans from going hungry.
REMINDER: Evans 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 Coloradans and keeps food affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Gabe Evans fled Washington and refuses to lift a finger to help Coloradans who may go hungry and are struggling with the cost of groceries. Voters will remember his cruelty at the ballot box next year.” |
