ATLANTA (October 29, 2025) — Today, Sen. Larry Walker III (R–Perry) released a letter addressed to U.S. Senators Raphael Warnock (D–GA) and Jon Ossoff (D–GA), urging them to take immediate action to end the ongoing federal government shutdown, now entering its 29th day.
In his letter, Sen. Walker highlighted the growing hardship faced by Georgia families, including the potential expiration of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which would affect an estimated 1.5 million Georgians, over 300,000 of whom are children. He also noted the severe impact on the 22,000 employees and contractors at Robins Air Force Base, the state’s largest single-site employer, where hundreds of essential workers have already been furloughed.
“The expiration of these benefits is not a distant threat; it is imminent, and it will exacerbate hunger and food insecurity at a scale we have not seen in years,” Sen. Walker wrote. “Georgia’s children, seniors and working poor deserve better than to bear the brunt of Washington’s dysfunction.”
Sen. Walker called on Georgia’s U.S. Senators to “set aside partisan divides and lead the charge in the Senate to pass a clean continuing resolution,” emphasizing the urgent need to restore federal funding and protect both Georgia families and the national defense operations anchored in Middle Georgia.
A full copy of Sen. Walker’s letter to Sens. Warnock and Ossoff is attached.
