Lummis	L000571	www.lummis.senate.gov	lummis	https://www.lummis.senate.gov/press-releases/page/	scraper	Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today joined legislation to protect SNAP benefits for the 28,000 people in Wyoming who rely on food assistance programs. Due to the ongoing government shutdown, nutrition programs, such as SNAP, are expected to run out of funding on November 1, leaving more than 40 million Americans without access to food assistance. “A clean continuing resolution is the only way to ensure that SNAP and WIC remain funded, that federal law enforcement and air traffic controllers get paid, and that small business owners, ranchers, and farmers have access to critical loans,” said Lummis. “Until five more Democrats join us in voting for the clean CR, I will, of course, support legislation to ensure no child in Wyoming goes to bed hungry during the shutdown.” The Keep SNAP Funded Act, introduced by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), would ensure full funding for the SNAP program during the government shutdown. Under the bill, Congress would appropriate the necessary funding to provide uninterrupted SNAP benefits, retroactive to the start of the shutdown.
