Jenniffer González-Colón: “Protecting them is therefore a priority for us.”

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.

Despite our compact agreement, the Freely Associated States are independent nations, that if we in the United States fail to remain engaged and do not renew our economic agreement with them, there will be nothing in the way to stop…

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.

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