ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today released the following statement regarding federal court rulings on SNAP funding during government shutdown:

“We have long s​aid: the Trump Administration must follow the law, release contingency funding for SNAP, and lead Congressional Republicans in ending the federal government shutdown. For millions of Americans—including 680,000 Marylanders—SNAP is a lifeline.
