In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Between trade wars that hurt our farmers and cuts to food assistance that hurt our seniors and children, families are being put in an impossible position. We are introducing this Act to bring some common sense—and some breathing room—back to our economy.”
“When I talk to people in my district, the message is clear: the cost of living is moving faster than their paychecks.”
