The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released a new digital ad today slamming Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for fighting to give illegal aliens free healthcare over feeding Georgia families. Ossoff has voted 13 times to keep the government shut down, and now over 1.3 million Georgians and over 500,000 kids who rely on SNAP assistance are at risk of going hungry, starting this Halloween weekend. Meanwhile, Ossoff is fundraising off of his shutdown and raking in out-of-state money from far-left states like California.

“Over 500,000 kids in Georgia will go hungry this week because Jon Ossoff is hellbent on giving free healthcare to illegal aliens and opposing President Trump,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia. “While Georgia kids’ stomachs are empty over the Halloween weekend, Ossoff will continue filling up on California cash and fundraising off of his government shutdown.”

Transcript:

Voice Over: “Washington has gone dark.

“Because Chuck Schumer and Jon Ossoff shut it down.”

Chuck Schumer: “It gets better for us.”

Voice Over: “Troops. Law enforcement. Families in need — all stranded.

“Ossoff’s willing to risk food assistance for 1.3 million Georgians in need.

“Choosing free healthcare for illegals instead.

“Tell Jon Ossoff: stop rewarding criminal illegals by stealing from American families.”

Illegal Alien: “Let’s get out of here!”

Voice Over: “Tell the Democrats: it’s time to end the Schumer Shutdown.”

Background:

  • On October 10, 2025, the Department of Agriculture sent a letter to state agencies advising state processors to “hold their November issuance files and delay transmission to State EBT vendors until further notice.” The letter stated that there were only enough funds to keep the SNAP program going through October 2025.
  • A “Democratic insider” told the Hill, “[Ossoff’s] calculus is, ‘Do I vote to open the government up and get crushed and can’t raise a single dollar of low-dollar money or do I vote to shut the government down and get $3 million [from online fundraising]?'”
  • Ossoff is raking in out-of-state cash from coastal elites in leftist states like California. 
  • Ossoff previously voted to shut down the government, delaying paychecks to military service members, and risking veterans’ healthcare. 
  • Ossoff also voted to shut down the federal government earlier this year.
  • Chuck Schumer said, “Every day gets better for [Democrats],” reaffirming that this shutdown is political leverage in their fight to give illegal aliens free healthcare. 
  • Democrats’ partisan proposal to reopen the government demands free healthcare for illegal aliens and guts the historic $50 billion investment in rural healthcare delivered by President Trump’s Working Family Tax Cuts law.
