Political Quotes

“As someone who comes from a long line of dairy farmers, it is my honor to rise and recognize National Dairy Month. I am proud to come from the State with the second most dairy farms and to represent more than 1,000 dairy farms in my district. In Pennsylvania, the dairy industry is a major driver of economic growth, supporting more than 47,000 jobs and bringing in more than $11 billion in revenue, but Pennsylvania dairy producers are struggling. The total number of dairy farms and the dairy cows in Pennsylvania are decreasing. One way to revitalize the dairy industry across the country is by passing my bill, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. This bill will allow whole milk to once again be served in school cafeterias, giving children access to vital nutrients they often do not consume enough of. Not only is this bill a win for children and parents across the country who have been begging for more options in school cafeterias, it is a win for dairy farms. I believe there is no better way to celebrate National Dairy Month than by passing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. ____________________”
