@SenatorCollins "Today I cosponsored the Keep SNAP Funded Act a bill introduced by @HawleyMO to provide uninterrupted SNAP payments during the government shutdown.

"No American should face hunger because of partisan brinkmanship in Washington. SNAP is a lifeline for more than 170000 Mainers including 50000 children and 73000 older adults.
