Jenniffer González-Colón: “What actions will the government of Puerto Rico need to pursue to increase this participation in Federal programs?”

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

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.

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

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.
