Compared with: Restore increases in the Child Tax Credit.
The stated policy goal is to restore increases in the Child Tax Credit, but the cosponsored bill is about SNAP eligibility for striking workers and their households. It does not address the Child Tax Credit or any tax-credit increase mechanism, so there is no direct policy connection to the stated goal.
“Alex believes that a twenty-first century economy must meet the needs of working families—including by raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, restoring increases in the Child Tax Credit, and ensuring that we develop our workforce to boldly address the climate crisis.”

Opposing provisions
“Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025 This bill allows certain striking workers and their households to maintain their eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).”
“Specifically, the bill provides that a household that would otherwise be eligible to participate in SNAP is eligible for benefits if any member of the household is on strike because of a labor dispute.”
“Also, under current law, households are not eligible for an increased SNAP allotment as a result of the decreased income of a striking member of the household.”
“The bill expands SNAP eligibility for households with striking workers by repealing both of these restrictions.”
“The bill also allows a government employee who is dismissed for striking and their household to maintain SNAP program eligibility.”
“The bill eliminates the provision that considers the dismissed government employee to have voluntarily quit without good cause, thereby allowing the employee and their household to maintain SNAP program eligibility if they are otherwise eligible for the program.”

Compared with: Guarantee veterans receive the full benefits and care they have earned
The cosponsored bill concerns SNAP eligibility for striking workers and dismissed government employees. That is a food-assistance policy for labor disputes, not a measure about veterans’ benefits, veterans’ health care, or other veteran-specific care, so there is no direct substantive connection to the stated goal of guaranteeing veterans receive the full benefits and care they have earned.
“Because Alex understands the sacred duty we have to care for our veterans and their families, he is committed to guaranteeing that our veterans receive the full benefits and care that they have earned.”
