John Boozman: “I guess the question is why would you go forward until you completely made sure it was somewhat filtered at least?”

North Dakota farm families helped shape the Working Families Tax Cuts, and because we listened to their priorities, we made sure the law included enhancements to the farm safety net.

While this is clearly welcome progress, we need more of our colleagues’ votes to reflect the urgency of supporting farmers, ranchers, forest landowners and rural communities.

Should this legislation be defeated today, current law will remain in effect, and states who poorly administer SNAP programs will begin to pay for the portion of the benefit cost next year.

Women veterans have made tremendous sacrifices in service to our nation, and they deserve access to the quality care and resources they have earned.
