| Juan Ciscomani and Eli Crane have 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 900,000 Arizonans 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, Ciscomani and Crane refuse to come to work and even try to prevent Arizonans from going hungry.
REMINDER: Ciscomani and Crane already voted for the largest cuts to SNAP in history earlier this year, making Americans pay more for their groceries. Now, they are doubling down on their cruelty and holding this key program hostage that feeds Arizonans and keeps food affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Juan Ciscomani and Eli Crane have fled Washington and refuse to lift a finger to help Arizonans who may go hungry and are struggling with the cost of groceries. Voters will remember their cruelty at the ballot box next year.” |
