On the 62nd Anniversary of SNAP, Anna Paulina Luna is Taking Food Off the Plates of Floridians

Since passage of Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill last year, roughly 560,000 Floridians have lost food assistance

On this day 62 years ago, America’s nutrition assistance program was signed into law, helping generations of Florida families and children afford healthy, nutritious meals. Today, Anna Paulina Luna is working to dismantle that program.

Luna voted to slash food assistance for more than 24,000 households in her own district. In the year since Luna and House Republicans voted to cut $187 billion from SNAP with their Big, Ugly Bill, nearly 560,000 Floridians have already lost critical nutrition assistance, forcing them to decide between feeding their families or paying their bills.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“The defining issue of the midterms is Anna Paulina Luna’s broken promise to Floridians to lower costs. In November, voters will hold Luna accountable for her cruel vote to take food away from hardworking families, all to pay for massive tax breaks for her billionaire backers.”
