KXAS 5 NBC DFW: Tarrant Area Food Bank Eyes 2023 Farm Amid Inflation Challenges
February 15, 2023
A tour Wednesday of the Tarrant Area Food Bank’s distribution center and its new hub under construction included U.S. House Representative Jasmine Crockett, who was recently sworn in as the Texas District 30 representative.
Crockett serves on the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture, a committee with jurisdiction over federal agriculture policy. Responsibilities include the 2023 Farm Bill.
“A lot of times, people are looking at DC…it definitely is broken. I won’t try to act like it’s not, but this is one of those things,” Crockett said Wednesday. “I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or Republican or Independent. Food is one of those in this country, everyone should have access to.”
