I appreciate your leadership, and Senator Braun's, with the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.
Hunger is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It is all of our issue that we have to take on.
The idea that we would be threatening to blow up our credit rating over the school lunch program or over SNAP does not make any sense to me.
I believe we can solve hunger. I believe that we can take what works, and we have seen a lot of things that are working across the country.
Each and every one of those people are Americans, and they should have the same access to vital programs.
The Emergency Food Assistance Program, or TEFAP, was established to provide emergency food assistance to low-income individuals.
Hunger is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It is all of our issue that we have to take on.
I look forward to working with Chairman Fetterman to find bipartisan solutions.
We reduced hunger in the United States by 30 percent, and we did not add a single bureaucrat to the Federal Government to do it.
States are really in the best position to evaluate the needs of their communities.
