lowering costs for families
Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet introduced the Working Parents Tax Relief Act, a bill that would return up to an additional $5,500 per child under age four and help working parents keep up with their bills.
Kristen works with pragmatic leaders from both parties to lower the cost of groceries, housing and prescription drugs, and to invest in child care.
In Congress, Kristen is laser focused on commonsense solutions that level the playing field for working families and puts more money into their pockets.
the Affordability Agenda ... is meant to lower the cost of housing, groceries, and utilities
Evidence
Congresswoman McDonald Rivet said the House-passed Farm Bill "critically improves crop insurance, specialty crop support, and much more" and highlighted her hot chicken amendment as one of the bipartisan solutions included.
McDonald Rivet and Rep. Crawford introduced the SNAP Rotisserie Chicken Act, which would let SNAP families buy hot rotisserie chicken; the release says it would make life a little easier for families struggling to make ends meet without costing taxpayers a single dime.
Assessments
McDonald Rivet took same-term federal legislative actions related to lowering family costs, including introducing the SNAP Rotisserie Chicken Act and helping pass a House Farm Bill with an amendment she backed. However, the cited measures had not become final law and the evidence shows progress toward targeted food-cost relief rather than a delivered broad reduction in costs for families. This supports partial credit with an effort badge, not full delivery.
