Ranking Member David Scott Reacts to New USDA Report Showing Increase in Household Hunger
Press Release
Issues: Agriculture and Food
"Today's ERS report, Household Food Security in the United States in 2022, underlines the vital importance of protecting SNAP, our Nation's most effective anti-hunger program. While House Republicans remain mired in disunity and dysfunction, House Democrats remain united in our years-long campaign to protect and defend Federal food assistance programs from unwarranted, immoral, and shortsighted attacks.
This ERS report is the latest sign that the need for SNAP is as critical as ever. To grow our economy and protect our children, the elderly, and veterans from hunger, we must reject harmful attempts by extreme House Republicans to slash SNAP benefits."
