Kamlager-Dove Condemns Republicans’ SNAP Cuts, Votes No on Partisan Farm Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) issued the following statement after voting "no" on Republicans' partisan Farm Bill:

"Enough with the hypocrisy. Last summer, Republicans gutted SNAP by $187 billion. Then they shut down the government, blocked emergency SNAP funding, and blamed Democrats for the hunger crisis they manufactured. Now they're baking these cuts into this abomination of a Farm Bill.

"People will suffer because of these cuts. 40 million Americans have already seen their SNAP benefits slashed or stripped away entirely. Republicans know exactly how vital this program is-just check the receipts from the shutdown-but they'll throw hungry families under the bus while protecting the corporations poisoning our food with pesticides. With grocery prices soaring under Trump's failing economy, SNAP isn't just a lifeline. It's the difference between dinner and an empty plate for over 57,000 households in my district.

"I will not vote for a Farm Bill that leaves millions of Americans with empty bellies while screwing over our farmers. I'm proud to be a hell no."
