Legislative Highlights

Manning Calls on Speaker Johnson to Protect Access to SNAP for Women and Children

Congresswoman Manning, Policy Co-Chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus, led her colleagues in a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson urging him to revise the partisan farm bill that recently passed out of the House Committee on Agriculture. 

The bill slashes funding for food and nutrition assistance programs, including a $30 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These cuts would disproportionately affect women and children, who make up a large portion of the over 1.6 million SNAP beneficiaries in North Carolina. 

"Including cuts to SNAP benefits in the farm bill undermines the inclusion of any other positive advancements and could jeopardize final passage of the bill, putting farmers and families in harm’s way," the Members wrote. "We are committed to passing a farm bill that supports both our farmers and ranchers, and nutrition assistance for women and their families."
