Jenniffer González-Colón: “This health extenders package is good news for the Marianas and all the insular areas.”

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.

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.
