Ann Kirkpatrick: “We need stronger, more focused action to ensure the VA fully implements a robust security program.”

SNAP and our Federal safety net programs are a hand-up, not a hand-out, and many of us on this Committee once utilized the program.

I am honored to serve as Chairwoman of this crucial Subcommittee and want to publicly express my full commitment to crafting impactful, lasting policy.

My home state of Arizona is the second fastest growing state in the country with massive population growth and development in some parts of the state.

There should be no doubt about the tremendous need for SNAP and other nutrition programs.
