Rep. Sykes and her Ohio Democrat colleagues sent a letter to the Ohio Attorney General, demanding that he protect SNAP benefits for nearly 1.5 million Ohioans. For so many children, veterans, and elderly adults in our community, this program is essential for putting food on the table.

Today, the Republican government shutdown became the longest in our country’s history.
Since day one of this administration, Trump and Republicans have attacked women and families at every turn—including relentless cuts to health care.

Democrats are fighting for affordable healthcare and lower costs. Republicans shut down the federal government instead of working across the aisle for the American people.

Republicans already took Medicaid away from tens of millions of Americans, and now they’re trying to strip healthcare away from 4 million more by not extending the Affordable Care Act Premium Tax Credits.

Feeding hungry Americans should not be a bargaining chip, but that's exactly what the administration is doing by deciding not to fully fund SNAP. Republicans must come to the table to negotiate to end this shutdown.

Ohioans don’t have another $720 laying around to pay for healthcare because Republicans refuse to work across the aisle on policies that help hardworking Americans.

Republicans already cut SNAP by $186 billion earlier this year. Then, they refused to fund November benefits for 1.5 million Ohioans, forcing a court to order them to. This isn't about the shutdown — it's about priorities. And hungry families apparently aren't one of them for Republicans.

The Republican shutdown has now gone on for an entire month! It’s time to come back to Washington and negotiate a bipartisan compromise to open the government.

The government is shut down because Republicans manufactured a health care crisis, but Democrats are working to fix it.
The cost of living, including health care, is already too expensive, and Northeast Ohioans cannot afford to foot the bill for tax breaks for billionaires.
