Over 40 million people experience hunger in our country every day. That includes over 13 million children.
For me, hunger is a political condition. We have the food. We have the resources. We have the infrastructure. We know what it takes. We have everything we need to end hunger now – everything except the political will.
It's our moral obligation to eliminate hunger in the U.S. That means we need leaders who are willing work together to #EndHungerNow.
Earlier this month, I worked to defeat a disastrous Farm Bill in the U.S. House that would have completely undermined our nation's most important food assistance program (SNAP). It was a bad, bad bill designed to vilify working families struggling to get by and people living in poverty and keep them from the assistance they desperately need.
I will continue to speak on this issue, as I've done for years because it's past time for Congress to help those impacted by hunger and to support those making a difference.
