"Representation"
In Colorado's 4th congressional district, thousands of people found themselves suddenly and unexpectedly relying on government assistance. Their homes were destroyed or severely damaged in the flooding, everything they owned is gone. Families and seniors are now living in community shelters, their children are now wearing donated clothing as they return to school. They're going to need assistance of many kinds for a long time.
And how did their congressman help? He voted to cut $40 billion from the food stamp program.
Cory Gardner. Gee, what a swell guy.
