Alma Adams: “I have seen firsthand the issues of food insecurity just in my district, and even my state ranks high in food…”

The Trump administration's attempt to gut protections for tipped workers have only worsened these issues by allowing employers to steal almost 6 billion dollars of worker's hard-earned tips for themselves each year.

I introduced the Capital for Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Act of 2024 (H.R. 8598) with Representative Strickland.

Tipped workers are unfortunately paid less per hour than non-tipped workers, and they have less access to benefits.

The $30 billion SNAP cut alongside the provisions you highlight today does a disservice to families in farm country.
