Jenniffer González-Colón: “In my family's native island of Puerto Rico, only 30 percent of people are on employer-based insurance.”

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

SNAP would ensure residents in Puerto Rico, like those living in the 50 states, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam, are properly supported.

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.

I will be supporting the continued funding of this program as well as of others in the budget request.
