What if you found out that you were at risk of no longer being able to put food on the table for your family? When I think about getting news like that, I know I’d be scared, and I’d be frustrated.

I’m very disappointed that the President wants to make deep cuts toprograms like SNAP, which support millions of Americans below or close to the poverty line—most of whom work for low wages, are elderly or disabled, or care for young children.

I met with SNAP participants, food bank & food shelf leaders, & experts on health & nutrition to discuss the effect of these proposed cuts. Under the President’s budget plan, MN would need to secure an additional $150 million just to maintain our current nutrition needs.pic.twitter.com/pnJoxGDoCR

Thanks to those who met with me, & for standing up for families in need. W/o your help, food security for MNs could be in jeopardy. Know that I’ll be a fierce advocate for nutrition programs as we move into
#FarmBill debate bc that’s what families deserve. https://www.facebook.com/USSenTinaSmith/posts/638435933169504 …Show this thread
