Bobby Rush: “Protecting consumers and average Americans should be a primary objective of all the bills this committee considers.”

I am extremely interested in member cooperatives, and I am looking forward to ways to expand ag co-ops to urban areas.

I am absolutely committed to the idea, and the potential, of trying to create a unity of will, a unity of spirit, and a unity of understanding, in terms of the whole cooperative sector of our society.

We on the Agriculture Committee have a special and unique mission to try to help solve the problem of Black farmers in our nation.

I urge the members of this Select Committee to co-sponsor this important legislation and hope to see it passed before the end of the 117th Congress.
