DELEON GUERRERO: ‘NO FAMILY IN THE MARIANAS SHOULD GO HUNGRY BECAUSE OF POLITICS IN D.C.’
SAIPAN — Independent U.S. House candidate Galvin Sablan Deleon Guerrero is calling on federal officials to immediately restore funding for food aid in the Commonwealth after the U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered the CNMI Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP) to suspend November benefits because of the ongoing federal shutdown. Millions of low-income households in the 50 states and territories are at risk of losing access to food assistance next month as the shutdown drags on and USDA says it will not draw on emergency funds to cover November aid.
