Under this legislation, Congress would appropriate the necessary funding to provide uninterrupted SNAP benefits, retroactive to the start of the shutdown. “Roughly one in 10 Tennesseans receive SNAP benefits for food assistance, and they shouldn’t have to worry about where their next meal will come from because the Democrats are holding government funding hostage to appease their far-left base,” said Senator Blackburn. “Our Keep SNAP Funded Act would ensure Tennesseans do not miss a meal during the Democrats’ shutdown.” CO-SPONSORS Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sponsored this legislation, and it is co-sponsored by Senators James Lankford (R-Okla.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) in addition to Senator Blackburn.
