WASHINGTON — Kansas U.S. Senator Jerry Moran had a special request Monday night for a former Senate colleague and new Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Moran who has always supported sending Kansas wheat and other grains to countries in need wrote on social media, " I urge Secretary Rubio to distribute the $340 million in American-grown food currently stalled in U.S. ports to reach those in need. Time is running out before this life-saving aid perishes."
Moran was the co-founder of the Senate Hunger Caucus. "The caucus raises awareness about issues surrounding hunger, including the importance of international food aid programs and agriculture research and development initiatives to end hunger and promote stability in the world," according to a statement on the senator's web site.
