PITTSTON TWP. — When asked if, in all his years in elective office, he ever expected issues like feeding people in need and providing affordable health care to become so politicized, Gov. Josh Shapiro had the answer.

“Well, understand that your congressman, from this district, voted to cut 510,000 Pennsylvanians off of their health care, and at the same time voted to cut about 140,000 of those 2 million Pennsylvanians off of SNAP,” Shapiro said during a news conference at the Monsignor Andrew J. McGowan Weinberg Food Bank in the CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park in Pittston Township on Thursday.

Shapiro was referring to freshman U.S. Rep. Rob Bresnahan, R-Dallas Township, who has voted with the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives on the issues Shapiro referred to.
