“Yes, to some people’s surprise, even Gainesville, Bristow and Haymarket – we have very real hunger needs,” said state Sen. Danica Roem, who represents parts of western Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park. “[This] is why the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry exists that far west in the first place,” InsideNoVa reported.

“We were deeply disturbed to hear that the USDA has instructed states to stop processing SNAP benefits for November and were surprised by your recent comments that the program will ‘run out of money in two weeks,’” wrote U.S. Sens.

“Lovejoy is hitting back. In his campaign ads, Lovejoy points to some voters’ concerns about a bill Guzman told 7News she wanted to introduce when she was in the House. In October 2022, Guzman explained that her bill would create child abuse charges for parents if they do not affirm their LGBTQ child’s sexual orientation and gender identity.”
