Cuts to these services would be absolutely devastating for her. These New Yorkers deserve relief. That's why I'm so proud to share that Last week the Senate unanimously passed my Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act. This bipartisan Older Americans act, or oaa, has been a lifeline for seniors since its passage over a half century ago. It powers life sustaining nutrition assistance and meal delivery programs that help seniors access nutritious, healthy food. (01:02–01:08)
