Sen. Roger Marshall discusses the importance of putting Food for Peace Program under the USDA umbrella

“We can easily move this Food for Peace Program over to USDA. It’ll be more efficient, it’ll save taxpayers money, and more of the food will get to the people who need it the most.”

New legislation has been introduced in an effort to move the Food for Peace Program under the USDA. It is being co-led by U.S. Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas.

Sen. Marshall spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander on the confirmation of Brooke Rollins and RFK Jr., the background of the Food for Peace Program, and the benefits of moving it under USDA.
