Ann Kirkpatrick: “I am very concerned about this for our rural areas that lack connectivity and that opportunity for our young people.”

I depended on SNAP to put food on my table.

It is not only a question of fairness, but also an important investment in the future of our agricultural economy.

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.

Ranching is hard enough as it is, in the best of circumstances, so thank you for staying with it, and for what you do.
