| Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn have 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 more than 259,000 Iowans 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 – Miller-Meeks and Nunn are refusing to get back to work.
REMINDER: Miller-Meeks and Nunn 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 Iowans and keeps food affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn are on vacation while more than 259,000 Iowans are at risk of going hungry. Iowans will remember Miller-Meeks’ and Nunn’s cruelty next November.” |
