The Farm Bill preserves the safety net to ensure families & children in need won't go hungry, rolling back Republican efforts to destroy nutrition aid. As Matthew 25 teaches us, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (1/3)

In particular, I thank my colleagues @GKButterfield, @RepRichmond, @RepDWStweets, @RepDanKildee, and @LucyWins2018 for nominating and seconding my nomination for Majority Whip. (2/2)
