Salinas Calls on Trump to Restore SNAP Benefits 2026-07-16 2026 2026-07 Democrat House OR Andrea Salinas S001226 salinas.house.gov salinas https://salinas.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Image Click here to watch the remarks. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) delivered remarks on the House Floor calling on Republicans to restore SNAP benefits and help the 70,000 Oregonians who have lost food assistance. A transcript of her remarks is available below: M. Speaker, I rise today to mark one year of the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, which has left our children, veterans, and seniors hungry. When President Trump signed this bill, he promised to lower costs for everyday people. Instead, his bill cut billions of dollars for SNAP across the nation, including $425 million in my home state of Oregon. These cuts are taking food off families’ tables. In Oregon, 70,000 people—parents, friends, and neighbors, have lost their food benefits. And why did Mr. Trump do this? To give tax cuts to his billionaire buddies. While the cost of healthcare and groceries skyrocket, families are losing the support they need to put food on the dinner table and pay their bills. M. Speaker, we must restore these devastating cuts to SNAP. No child, veteran, or senior in the wealthiest nation on the planet should go hungry because Congress chose tax breaks for billionaires over food for families. Thank you, and I yield back. ### 1 2026-07-17T07:15:58Z 2026-07-17T07:17:05Z
