Congressman Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) released a statement following House passage of legislation funding nutrition assistance for low income women and children and FEMA:

"The White House may enjoy bragging about 'winning' the shutdown, but the women and their children who will be denied food know this isn't a game. The folks on the Mississippi Gulf Coast know hurricanes are definitely not a game. It is time for the Senate and White House to quit playing politics with people's lives and get these bills signed into law."
