Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today I am happy to announce that I have officially joined the bipartisan Congressional Agricultural Trade Caucus. The State of Iowa leads the Nation in corn, pork, and soybean production. Expanding access to international markets is essential for our rural communities to succeed. In the past, bad trade deals and overregulations from Washington have held our producers back. By joining the Agricultural Trade Caucus, alongside Representatives Adrian Smith, Jim Costa, Dusty Johnson, and Jimmy Panetta, I will continue to fight to remove unfair trade barriers, open new markets for Iowa products, and promote policies that keep our local family farms strong and competitive. Yesterday, when Secretary Rollins was in our State of Iowa, she remarked upon our productive farmers and ranchers and added she will be going on six trade trips internationally over the next 6 months. For Iowans, agriculture isn't just a way of life. It is the backbone of our economy, and I am deeply committed to supporting Iowa's hardworking farmers and producers. ____________________”
