"Thank you for holding this important hearing on our Energy Title programs in the farm bill."

"I heard directly from veterans on how the lack of access to the SNAP program negatively impacts their lives, their ability to look for work, their mental health, and their nutrition needs."

"This bipartisan legislation would not only dramatically increase annual funding for the program to $250 million but also would take steps to improve accessibility for rural communities."
