Our community has worked to raise awareness of the problem of hunger in our region just as others have sought to bring attention to it on a worldwide level, said Rep. Hultgren. Although the challenges to overcome hunger are daunting, they are not beyond our ability to confront and in many cases resolve them. I look forward to hearing about constructive approaches to address the scourge of hunger and expert insight into how we as a community, both locally as well as globally, can participate in finding solutions and helping those whose lives are afflicted by hunger. As Co-chairman of the influential congressional Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, Rep. Hultgren has focused on alleviating global hunger as a component of an effective overall human rights policy. He is a cosponsor of the Global Food Security Act and the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act to require development and implementation of a global food security strategy to promote food security, resilience, and nutrition.
