On Nov. 1, SNAP benefits will be paused due to the federal gov. shutdown. To help combat the increased need placed on local food banks, I'm introducing a food tax credit program for farmers, commercial grocers & processors who donate. Together, we can keep our neighbors fed.

Just 6 days remain before a potential government shutdown. If we cannot reach a deal before September 30th, everyday services could face major interruptions. From State Parks to health programs and the workers involved going unpaid. Time is running out.
