Nutrition assistance

“He will support the bipartisan Local Farmers Feeding our Communities Act, which would restore funding to connect local farmers with community food programs like food banks—giving Michigan growers a dependable local buyer and families fresh food grown by their neighbors.”

“Ripping away SNAP, Meals on Wheels, and WIC from children, seniors, and low-income Americans to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy is inhumane. Peggy will fight to reverse the cuts the Trump Administration made to food assistance and make sure that everyone has enough to eat.”

“To support New Hampshire communities in the face of these cuts, which also affected programs like Meals on Wheels, Pappas cosponsored the Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025, the Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025, and the Keep Americans Fed During Government Shutdown Resolution.”

“New Hampshire families shouldn’t have to go hungry or pay higher health care premiums so corporate special interests and billionaires can get handouts and tax breaks. While my Republican opponents double down on Trump’s policies that are making life more expensive, I’m fighting to restore funding for Medicaid and SNAP and to lower costs for Granite Staters.”

“Chris knows that seniors, veterans, parents, and children deserve affordable groceries. He’s fighting to restore funding for SNAP and pushing to roll back the Trump Administration’s blanket tariffs driving up costs.”

“Guarantee those who serve our country and their families have the food and healthcare they need by reversing cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, restoring ACA tax credits, allowing military children to remain on TRICARE until age 26, and supporting access to alternative pain medicines and non-drug therapies to combat opioid dependency.”

“Repeal cuts to SNAP, because every Iowan deserves access to food.”

“Ripping away SNAP, Meals on Wheels, and WIC from children, seniors, and low-income Americans to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy is inhumane. Peggy will fight to reverse the cuts the Trump Administration made to food assistance and make sure that everyone has enough to eat.”

“Chris Pappas will continue to hold the Trump administration accountable, fight for the programs that help Granite Staters access critical, life-saving health care and put food on the table, and deliver results for the people of New Hampshire.”

“He will continue fighting back against Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs that are worsening the affordability crisis and he’ll keep standing up for essential programs like SNAP.”

“Pappas has fiercely championed full funding for nutrition assistance programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – a federally funded program that helps millions of Americans afford to eat, including roughly 76,000 Granite Staters – the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and Meals on Wheels.”

“Earlier this month, Chris Pappas for Senate released the third plank of its Tax Cuts and Lower Costs Blueprint for New Hampshire, focused on bringing down grocery costs for Granite Staters by taking on Trump’s tariffs, cracking down on corporate and AI-driven price gouging, and fighting to protect critical nutrition assistance programs.”

“Pappas is running for Senate to take on corporate special interests, fight back against reckless tariffs, and protect essential programs like SNAP that help families make ends meet.”

“He also strongly opposed and continues to fight back against the impacts of the “Big Ugly Bill,” which threatened $500 billion in cuts to Medicare, stripped Medicaid funding for nursing homes, and slashed food assistance programs seniors depend on.”

“He supports rolling back harmful new tariffs on food and everyday essentials, cracking down on AI-driven price discrimination, and protecting the nutrition assistance programs that thousands of working Granite Staters rely on.”

“Lower grocery costs: Stand up to attacks against SNAP and WIC, increase oversight into mergers and acquisitions that artificially jack up prices, remove tariffs on produce that can’t be grown in the United States, and reduce barriers to entry for new grocery providers to increase market competition.”

“Support the whole family and track results – Strengthen and simplify WIC enrollment, pair maternal health investment with safe, stable housing support for pregnant and postpartum families, and direct Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant dollars specifically toward closing Black maternal mortality disparities, with public reporting by race and county.”

“According to Meals on Wheels America, 13 million seniors worry about having enough food. This is unacceptable. Peggy will fight to protect and expand SNAP, Meals on Wheels, and other programs, so no senior in Minnesota has to worry about their next meal.”

“Address Texas’ maternal mortality crisis: End maternal care deserts, improve data collection, provider training, and investment in maternal health research, extend eligibility for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), expand the Healthy Start Program, and guarantee all new mothers can take time off work to tend to their health.”

“Peggy has been a steadfast advocate at the state level for programs including Medicaid and Meals on Wheels.”

“Pappas also co-sponsored the Delivering for Rural Seniors Act, which would establish a pilot program to help food banks provide home delivery options for senior citizens and was supported by Meals on Wheels.”
