Starting in 2027, legislation limitations by Republicans would cut SNAP benefits for 40 million people, including 17 million children, 6 million older adults, and 4 million people with disabilities in a typical month, based on CBO’s estimates. This would be the most significant SNAP cut in nearly 30 years and would grow over time as SNAP benefits became increasingly inadequate.

Congress should reject this misguided approach and instead pursue a farm bill that advances food security and family well-being by protecting and strengthening SNAP. The farm bill framework released by Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow (R), which includes key improvements to SNAP without harmful benefit cuts, should be the basis for farm bill negotiations moving forward.

I will advocate for farmers and rural communities through legislation.

I will focus on food security and nutrition programs.

I support sustainable agricultural practices and environmental stewardship.

I will work on issues related to crop insurance and farm subsidies.

I will engage in bipartisan efforts to address agricultural challenges.
