Mike Levin: “The privatization proposal does nothing to address the shortfall and, indeed, makes it worse.”

I am also concerned that, following staffing cuts in 2025, USDA has failed to fill critical positions that support coordination with the Department of Veterans Affairs on veteran hunger.

USDA must take these findings seriously and act quickly to address the gaps identified by GAO.

There is no other acceptable remedy for this corrupt abuse of power and weaponization of taxpayer dollars.

We urge you to immediately reinstate the funding for these projects that were subject to blatantly partisan cancellation.
