Big news: The Senate Ag Committee Republicans just advanced my bill — the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act — out of committee. We’re one step closer to bringing whole milk back to school cafeterias. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a cold glass of whole milk!🥛

We have to restore integrity to the SNAP program by taking commonsense steps to address fraud, waste, and overpayments. It’s our responsibility to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars and protect this program for those who genuinely depend on it.

I am proud to be a co-sponsor of this bill & glad to see it pass out of committee! Whole milk is vital to children’s growth and bone strength. It is time to bring it back in schools! x.com/SenateAgGOP/st…

Milk is the most nutritious drink known to mankind. I’m proud to be leading the effort to get whole milk back in schools — let’s get the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act across the finish line.

My family has been in the farming business for years. I know firsthand how serious a crisis we would be in if we lost our small family farms. We can’t afford to look the other way. The next generation of farmers need our support before these farms are gone for good.

For generations, milk has fueled kids’ growth with essential nutrients. Next stop for our bill: the Senate floor. Let’s get this passed and restore access to healthy milk choices in schools!

Despite what Democrats in D.C. claim, 72% of able-bodied adults without dependents who should be working have no earned income. An overwhelming majority of Americans support work requirements as a condition of receiving food stamps.

Work requirements for able-bodied adults are a fair and effective way to ensure that SNAP and Medicaid benefits are directed to those who truly need them. By implementing these commonsense policies, we can help Arkansans like Nick's son, and other individuals access the resources
