2020 House elections: on Welfare & Poverty


Mike Quigley: Government should lead on new agricultural approaches

Q: What action should the government take to increase food security?

A: The federal government can and should be a leader in pioneering novel approaches to agriculture that increase yields and decrease environmental impact, and government must act urgently on climate change to decrease the disruption to our food producing systems.

Teresa Leger Fernandez: Help kids in poverty with food assistance and Head Start

One out of every three children in my state lives in poverty. This bill allocates a much needed $39 billion to childcare providers; prioritizes assistance to families who otherwise cannot afford tuition; and provides $1 billion to Head Start to make sure we care for young children in a safe and nurturing environment. New Mexico has one of the highest child food insecurity rates, and we must help the hungriest families put food on the table.
