Sen. Harding Statement on SNAP Court Rulings

For Immediate Release 

Sen. Stephen Harding today issued the following statement regarding the federal court rulings issued this afternoon regarding SNAP:

“We now have an issue of two competing federal court orders. We will have to see the administration’s response.

Bottom line: Vulnerable Connecticut residents need to eat.

Bottom line: Democrats need to join Republicans in voting to reopen the government and resolve this crisis.

Five major employee unions have called on Senate Democrats in Washington DC to change their position and vote to reopen the government. We view that as an encouraging development.

Republicans stand ready to collaborate with the governor in his work to create an emergency response for Connecticut residents in need.”
