“At this very moment, America's dedicated farmers and the Nation's entire agricultural community are facing a serious threat. That threat is the Communist Chinese Party's continued purchasing of American farmland. This is a threat that I take very seriously and one that I remain committed to fixing. Here is the truth: The Chinese Communist Party has absolutely no interest in supporting our Nation's food supply. It cares only about improving its own bottom line while kneecapping a community that has always put food on the tables of families in every ZIP Code in America. Think about the threat that is being posed to our national security as more American farmland is acquired by the Chinese Communist Party. My record is crystal clear on standing with farmers, and I have recently taken action to confront and expose the Chinese Communist Party's covert agenda. I have cosponsored H.R. 7131, the AFIDA Improvements Act of 2024, legislation that makes serious reforms related to how the United States Department of Agriculture shares data on foreign investments in agricultural land. What is more, I have cosponsored H.R. 809, the Prohibition of Agricultural Land for the People's Republic of China Act.…”
