On the 62nd Anniversary of SNAP, Ryan Mackenzie is Taking Food Off the Plates of Lehigh Valley Families

Since passage of Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill last year, more than 210,000 Pennsylvanians have lost food assistance

On this day 62 years ago, America’s nutrition assistance program was signed into law – helping generations of Pennsylvania families and children afford food. But now, Ryan Mackenzie is working to dismantle the program.

In the year since Mackenzie and House Republicans voted to cut $187 billion from SNAP with their so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, more than 210,000 Pennsylvanians have lost critical nutrition assistance, forcing them to decide between feeding their families or paying their bills.

Last week, the DCCC launched a mobile billboard campaign in PA-07 to hold Mackenzie accountable for his cruel cuts to food aid.

Washington Post: Democrats target Republicans who voted for SNAP cuts with billboards

  • About a year ago, cuts to the nation’s largest food assistance program went into effect as part of the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill, affecting about 4.5 million Americans.
  • On Wednesday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee plans to roll out mobile billboards targeting a handful of House Republicans in swing districts who voted for the cuts, accusing them of taking food off voters’ plates.
  • The billboards are slated to travel to the districts of Reps. Juan Ciscomani (Arizona), Gabe Evans (Colorado), Mike Lawler (New York), Ryan Mackenzie (Pennsylvania) and Monica De La Cruz (Texas).

  • The DCCC is launching a new mobile billboard campaign holding vulnerable Republican Ryan Mackenzie accountable for his cruel cuts to food aid.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Ryan Mackenzie lied to Lehigh Valley families when he promised he would lower their costs. In November, voters will hold Mackenzie accountable for his vote to take food away from Pennsylvanians, all to pay for massive tax breaks for his billionaire donors.”
