Last Friday, President Trump said it would be his “honor” to fund food assistance. We’ve seen what a difference a week makes. Today, I joined @repjahanahayes.bsky.social to introduce the Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act, to fully fund benefits for millions of Americans. 🔗Read more here: bit.ly/3JoEG7j
Under the Trump administration and Republicans, the cost of groceries has only INCREASED, hurting Americans at the dinner table. And their delay in funding SNAP, only makes things worse. In the season of giving, why is the 'pro-family' party, stealing from American families?
It was a pleasure to join Columbus elected officials to celebrate Ohio's veterans at Councilwoman Nancy Day Aucher's 2nd Annual Veterans Award Dinner. Thank you, for your partnership in ensuring Columbus is a city where veterans are appreciated and given the resources to thrive.
I was proud to join the Columbus Urban League for their 50th Annual Empowerment Day: Driving Economic Impact through Access and Opportunity. Thank you, Columbus Urban League, for 50 years of helping families thrive, entrepreneurs grow, and job seekers succeed. Here’s to the next 50!
Thanks to Republicans, Head Start — a CRITICAL lifeline for children and families throughout Ohio — has lost vital funding throughout the shutdown. Here's the hard truth of how it's affecting Franklin County. It's time Republicans put American families FIRST and reopen the government.
Honoring the life and legacy of Les Wright, the first Black woman to serve on Columbus City Council. Her courage and leadership opened doors for generations of women and Black leaders, including myself. So grateful for the path she blazed. May she rest in power.
The Trump admin is weaponizing hunger by blocking funds for SNAP. Federal courts have ordered Trump to pay Americans their SNAP benefits — it's time for him to follow the law, and give Ohioans the benefits they need. To families struggling, please reach out to your local food bank for support.
The Trump Administration has the power to protect SNAP—but refuses to act. As Thanksgiving nears, over 40 million Americans risk going hungry. I joined 213 of my Democratic colleagues in calling on Agriculture Secretary Rollins to release the resources families need now.

The scariest thing this Halloween isn’t ghosts—it’s Trump’s economy. Candy and other costs keep climbing, and families are paying the price. Trick or treat? Under Trump, it’s just the trick. 🍫👻
Standing outside the USDA with Shutdown Straight Talk. Republicans are holding 42M Americans—including 1.4M in Ohio—hostage by refusing to fund SNAP benefits during their government shutdown. Release the $5B and protect SNAP!
1.4 million Ohioans rely on SNAP - that's not a game. But Republicans think it is. The message is clear and simple. To Secretary Rollins and Republicans: release the SNAP funds, now.
It was a pleasure to speak at Robinhood's Financial Education Opening Event, to talk about the importance of financial literacy for student athletes and next-gen leaders. As Co-chair of the Financial Literacy Caucus, I will always support initiatives that empower young people with tools for success.
