Aaron Ford on Welfare & Poverty

 

 


Family relied on food stamps & Medicaid early in life

Aaron Ford knows what it means to fight for a better life, because he's lived that struggle. Raised in a working-class family, he relied on food stamps, Medicaid, and public schools early in life to get ahead. He went on to become a public school teacher, earn five degrees, and work his way up to lead Nevada's Senate and serve as Attorney General.
