SNAP is a critical anti-hunger program that feeds millions of low income Americans, including children, veterans, and seniors who would not otherwise have the resources to buy groceries.

One of the things I really learned from my first term is the importance of focusing. In that sense, it is a deliberate effort. What I look at with each vote is that priority of whether its good for the middle class or not.

I strongly support SNAP and will continue to urge my colleagues in Congress to provide adequate funding to this important program.

In the end, I think part of my problem was that I was a better legislator than I was a politician.

I believe I am a moderate Democrat: I am pro-business and also progressive.

I have consistently supported laws ensuring women are able to make their own health care decisions, and I will continue to protect womens access to contraceptives and reproductive health care.
