Jenniffer González-Colón: “I know the situation, and I will--this will be to EPA.”

Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for your call yesterday and your well wishes, and I would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to issues in Puerto Rico transportation.

Puerto Rico received a D-minus score by the American Society of Civil Engineers scorecard published in 2019 because the bridges, ports, and roads are among the lowest grades per individual category.

Puerto Rico is not included in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

I have introduced legislation that will add these crops as priority research areas for the Department of Agriculture.
