Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley Statement on Restoration of November FoodShare Benefits

MILWAUKEE – County Executive David Crowley released the following statement in response to Governor Tony Evers’ announcement to release full November payments for Wisconsin FoodShare members:

“But let me be clear: This is not a long-term solution. We are now in the longest government shutdown in American history, and future FoodShare benefits remain uncertain depending on the federal government’s response.

“My administration will continue working with Governor Evers, community organizations, and local food banks to help residents navigate this challenging time, but this crisis will only end when the federal government acts. We must keep calling on President Donald Trump and leaders in Congress to deliver federal food assistance, protect affordable healthcare, and end the government shutdown – because the livelihoods of working families in Wisconsin depends on it.”
