Ann Kirkpatrick: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Let me just say this is an excellent hearing.”

I have seen firsthand the challenges these communities, tribal communities face on a daily basis.

I appreciate my colleague, Mr. Crawford's, comments about how we can work to develop a better system where we don't penalize people.

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 depended on SNAP to put food on my table.
