07/18/2018 Tweet - "The last time unemployment levels were this low, there were 17 million SNAP recipients. Now there are 42 million. In our booming economy, there is no better time to encourage people to move off the sidelines and into the workforce."
07/13/2018 Tweet - "There are more than 12 million able-bodied Americans who do NOT have small kids at home, are NOT in school, and are NOT working or looking for work. A mild work/school requirement of 20-hours/week to receive government assistance is as reasonable and common sense as it gets."
06/21/2018 Tweet - "Today's House passage of the #2018FarmBill is a big deal. With our booming economy, there is no better time to close the skills gap, better equip our workforce, and encourage Americans to move from welfare to work."
05/16/2018 Tweet - "The House will vote on the #2018FarmBill this week. It funds education and training programs and includes work requirements to help get people out of poverty and on to the ladder of opportunity."
05/14/2018 Tweet - "It's crucial we empower Americans to achieve their own American Idea. That's why the #2018FarmBill ties work requirements to federal benefits and invests in skills training & vocational programs to help workers become qualified or retrained for good jobs."
05/11/2018 Tweet - "Our goal is to interrupt the multi-generational traps of poverty. Government should empower people to achieve their own American Idea. We want to give people hope: You can make it. You can be who you want to be."
04/18/2018 Tweet - "For too long, vague and unenforceable requirements have discouraged work and left many good jobs unfilled. The #2018FarmBill includes much-needed reforms that will strengthen America's workforce and help people move out of poverty. https://spkrryan.us/2JUzcxi"
