We saw this experiment FAIL in Kansas City, then Chicago…and now it will fail in New York.

When will cities stop pouring millions of taxpayer dollars into government-run grocery stores…only to see them shut down?

Socialism is NOT the answer.

Chicago spent $13.5 million on government-run grocery stores now on the brink of collapse after Save A Lot terminated its Yellow Banana agreement.

I know the impact that Big Brothers Big Sisters has on young people in Kansas City. And recently, I wanted to check it out for myself while their renovations are ongoing.

Their work and many others doesn’t go unnoticed, and we are already in the new Fourth district to help make sure that work continues.

ICYMI: Last week, we secured an F-15E Strike Eagle mission for Whiteman Air Force Base and the 442d Fighter Wing.

⁉️Make it make sense….

So Americans shouldn’t need an ID to protect the integrity of our elections…but a taxpayer-funded grocery program should require one?

The bigger issue: government shouldn’t be in the business of replacing the local businesses that built these communities. The answer isn’t taxpayer subsidized grocery handouts. It’s lowering costs, unleashing American workers, & empowering families. 🇺🇸

A cabinet official's mention of a "library card-esque system" for NYC's government-run grocery stores sparked fierce voter ID hypocrisy accusations.
