Ann Kirkpatrick: “I was absent today due to a medical emergency. Had I been present, I would have voted: ``yea'' on Roll Call No. 28…”

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.

Running a power line doesn't really make sense, but if you have stand-alone energy resources for those communities, to me, that makes the most sense.

I look forward to working with you to prioritize solar and clean energy infrastructure and jobs in my home State of Arizona and across the country.

One of the main ways we can make sure that SNAP fulfills its mission to fight hunger is to ensure that the benefit is adequate.
