we want clean water and clean air and safety when it comes to building homes, et cetera, but, you know, let us get there with something that makes sense.

this seemingly adversarial relationship that should not exist, because we all have the same goal.

I think my point was that siloing just has not worked.

It is like saying we are going to fix problems with youth challenges simply with the housing program and ignoring education and health care.

We need to work on getting those food deserts access.

we need a little common sense in all of this and we are working to try and make it happen.

One thing I want to examine is the intersection of diabetes prevention with behavior and mental health.

Building public health systems within tribes would definitely help assist tribes with behavioral health issues.

This needs to be a collaborative effort.

the most despair economically in this country is in rural America.

But my concern is what we are seeing really out of the White House and out of the budget does not seem to be pro rural or pro agriculture.

I hope that you will engage us. We are a very bipartisan, collaborative committee, and we all represent agricultural states.
