Introduce and support legislation to expand SNAP access for older adults and adults with disabilities, including simplifying enrollment and increasing SNAP benefits.
Occurrences
Evidence
Bonamici says she has long been committed to finding solutions to end hunger, improve access to nutritious foods, and strengthen the food system; the page explicitly mentions SNAP benefits and her work on legislation to update federal child nutrition programs.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Suzanne Bonamici publicly supports anti-hunger policy and mentions SNAP, but it does not document a concrete action matching this promise such as introducing, sponsoring, cosponsoring, or materially advancing legislation specifically aimed at expanding SNAP access for older adults and adults with disabilities, simplifying enrollment, or increasing benefits. Because the claim is about identifiable legislative action and the provided record does not establish that action, the promise cannot be scored as delivered or never on this evidence alone.
