Political Quotes

“Over the weekend, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania kicked off one of my favorite events: The Pennsylvania Farm Show. For more than a century, farmers have gathered each January at the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This weeklong event is the largest indoor agricultural exposition in the Nation, showcasing more than 6,000 animals, nearly 12,000 exhibits, and more than half a million visits. Each year, I host a listening session at the farm show, and we cover a range of topics during the public forum. This year, I held my listening session on January 6, the same day the farm show kicked off. I was joined by my fellow Pennsylvania Congressman, Dan Meuser, and Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary, Russell Redding. Mr. Speaker, I thank them both for being there as we heard directly from Pennsylvania's farmers and producers. I have been hosting this listening session as the Representative for Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District for 14 years. Like every year, I look forward to hearing directly from the backbone of our Nation, the hardworking men and women of American agriculture. ____________________”
