Mike Bost

Congressman Bost and Representative Craig have been developing. We support that bill.

If the Committee is looking for commonsense, bipartisan solutions to improve supply chain efficiency, it is abundantly clear passage of Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act must be a priority.

Thankfully, a bipartisan group of Representatives led by Reps. Mike Bost (R-IL), a member of this Committee, and Angie Craig (D-MN), have again introduced the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act (H.R. 2367) to help solve this growing…

Despite these headwinds, the Administration continues to prioritize its progressive ideology.

I encourage the Administration to change direction.

This bipartisan proposal would allow 18- to 20-year-old drivers to cross state lines, which makes sense to me since 49 states and the District of Columbia already allow 18- to 20-year-old commercial motor vehicle drivers to drive within…

We need to make it easier for women and men to choose this profession, which is one of the most common paths to a middle-income lifestyle that does not require a college degree.

I am a cosponsor of the bipartisan bill that he reintroduced earlier this year.

I encourage the administration to change direction.

What will it do to the markets? Because we deal off of markets, so we do our production based on--I am cutting it short, but I will get that to you and see if we can get an answer for it.

And if this assessment has not taken place, I request that this study be done by the EPA and sent to the Committee no later than this summer.

But we need you to stand with the people that provide the food, the fiber, the building materials, and the energy resources in this country, and that is the American farmer.

And yes, the Biden Administration is lining up behind big business, and they are doing that because that is what-- President Biden, is climate, climate, climate, which we are all in favor of.

It is clear to me there are a number of regulatory actions pursued by your agency that negatively impact American farmers and ranchers.

I urge you to use these resources to expand grower access to the tools that they need.

There are no better climate heroes in the world than the American farmer, rancher, and forester.

If you crush the ethanol industry, which is a significant part of agriculture, if you crush the petroleum industry, you will crush the rural economy.

The WOTUS rule, the way it has been done is an attack on the intent of Congress with the Clean Water Act.

A weakened American agriculture industry threatens human health and the environment.

They are more worried about selling a message, whether it is true or whether it is not, or whether we are ready to advance or not, and they are willing to sacrifice the farmer and our economy to do so.

By taking that narrow-minded approach, you are not only leaving biofuels behind, but you are leaving rural America behind as well.

In 1956, President Eisenhower said, 'Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the corn field.'

I am disappointed President Biden once again turned his back on rural America and vetoed this resolution.

I was proud to cosponsor that resolution and would like to thank Ranking Member Scott for joining us in the effort to provide certainty for those who need it most.

Simply put, any decisions related to crop protection tools should be based on actual science--not political science.
