Policy

I am proud to co-sponsor this important legislation to promote habitat conservation from the ground up.

The main point of the blue ribbon panel was this guaranteed annual funding, and the level of guaranteed annual funding needed to do the job.

It point blank undermines existing habitat conservation efforts.

This legislation is a combination of policies that would, if enacted, increase the chances of recovering at-risk species.

I commend the IRS where credit--for the ERTC claims, for processing them.

While I am grateful for your partnership in these efforts, it won't surprise you that I also have a number of concerns about the Biden Administration's approach to the IRS.

The IRS has had their work cut out for them, with a very long list of major implementation issues over the last decade.

We commend the USDA for proposing a strong rule and urge you to prioritize the finalization and publication of the rule.

Advancing Automation Research and Development in Agriculture Act.

Those are your words. However, other agencies in this Administration are proposing burdensome regulations.

If you authorize it, if Congress creates the opportunity for this, we will be more than happy to utilize that program.

But the fact is that, to do that, there are good ways to do that and there are ways that really aren't helping the American farmer.

This bill permanently expands SNAP eligibility to college students.

To be clear, the Republican proposal does not cut, decrease, or impact SNAP benefits.

I do hope that we can move further on this issue.

SNAP is the leading anti-hunger program in the nation. And according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the program reduces food insecurity by 30 percent.

Can you please pass a farm bill?

We obviously are very interested in making sure it doesn't happen again.
