ICYMI: Congressman Sorensen Speaks Out on Protecting SNAP at House Agriculture Committee Hearing

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) delivered passionate remarks and tough questions during a House Agriculture Committee hearing focused on expanding opportunity through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). In his testimony, Congressman Sorensen emphasized the real-world impact of proposed cuts to SNAP and pushed back on efforts to reduce assistance for families who rely on the program to survive.

"We're looking at cuts that would affect everyone from toddlers with disabilities to senior citizen heroes who fought for us in World War II. These are real people," said Congressman Eric Sorensen. "64,000 families in my district rely on SNAP to make ends meet, but this administration seems to be just OK turning their backs on these real neighbors of mine. The fact that we're even debating today whether some people deserve to be helped."
