Monica De La Cruz is Making Texans Go Hungry

Because of Monica De La Cruz, 3,000,000 Texans risk having food ripped off their dinner tables

Monica De La Cruz 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 3,000,000 Texans 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 – De La Cruz is refusing to get back to work.

REMINDERDe La Cruz 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 Texans and keeps food affordable. 

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
Monica De La Cruz fled Washington and refuses to lift a finger to help Texans who may go hungry and are struggling with the cost of groceries. Voters will remember her cruelty at the ballot box next year.”
