SNAP is a critical anti-hunger program that feeds millions of low income Americans, including children, veterans, and seniors who would not otherwise have the resources to buy groceries.

I will continue to support legislation that provides American families and Seniors affordable health care.

I very, very much want to be involved in helping those senators, congressmen, and women who support the principles that made America great.

As one of the voices of rural New Yorkers in Congress, I am committed to supporting efforts such as these that will make a real impact in people's lives.

I want to see the farm piece passed, but the nearly a trillion dollars in SNAP spending for food stamps is way too much.

Our nation's anti-hunger programs need to be strengthened.

There are bills being discussed to raise the amount that Members of Congress pay in to their benefits and I support these pieces of legislation.

I strongly support extending current student loan interest rates and increasing the college tuition tax credit for students and their families.

I look forward to working with our leadership team to advance the causes of smaller government, lower taxes, eliminating terrorism, and providing affordable health care, among other issues.

We really accomplished what we set out to do with the Recovery Act programs, which was to fill the lending gap created by the crisis.
