I was born and raised in Hidalgo County where more than half of the residents are on food stamps, and they have all these children who are participating. That is why I fully support these new child nutrition programs and believe we should continue to strengthen them, not to weaken them.
Hinojosa emphasizes support for child nutrition programs due to high food stamp reliance in his district.

While congressional Democrats are committed to comprehensive immigration reform and passing the DREAM Act, the Republican majority has stalled these efforts.
Just last month, we celebrated six years since ACA's enactment and celebrated the 20 million previously uninsured Americans who now have access to quality, affordable coverage.
In my district, the majority of the uninsured population falls under the Medicaid coverage gap and does not qualify for assistance in healthcare marketplace.
