Moulton Votes ‘No’ on Farm Bill, inadequate Support for SNAP benefits, Harming Massachusetts

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) issued the following statement today regarding his vote against the Farm Bill:

"I voted No on the Farm Bill. At a time when nearly one in five families in our state are struggling to afford food, this Farm Bill does nothing to address the deep cuts to SNAP enacted last year-the largest reduction to the program in its history.

"SNAP helps prevent hunger for hundreds of thousands of people in Massachusetts, including more than 300,000 children and over 200,000 older adults. Recent changes could put as many as 99,000 Massachusetts residents at risk of losing their benefits.

"I will continue to vote No on any Farm Bill that fails to restore SNAP and address the needs of our family farmers and working American's."
