March 23rd, 2025 by WCBC Radio

Congresswoman April McClain-Delaney joined her colleagues on Thursday in a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson calling for bipartisan negotiations for an upcoming Farm Bill.  According to the letter, the current bill proposes the elimination of $230 billion, which would threaten the Supplemental Nutrition Program, known as SNAP.  Congresswoman McClain-Delaney represents Maryland’s 6th District, which includes Allegany and Garrett Counties.  She notes that 1 in 10 households in her district use SNAP benefits to pay for groceries.
