Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, after nearly 400 days since President Trump signed the agreement, we are finally voting on USMCA to deliver real results for the people who make up the backbone of the American economy. This includes our farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and each and every American family who depends on these industries. USMCA will bring more than $68 billion in new economic activity, 176,000 new jobs here at home, and an increase of $2 billion a year annually in agricultural exports. These numbers don't lie, and that is only the beginning. Passing USMCA is a big win for the American economy. Lastly, I can't talk about USMCA without mentioning how big of a win it is for American agriculture, particularly our dairy farmers. Under this agreement, our dairy producers will no longer be subject to Canada's class 6 and class 7 milk pricing programs, policies that have unfairly limited our export potential for years. Madam Speaker, USMCA is a good agreement. It is a fair agreement, and it is a bipartisan agreement. I am pleased that we are finally voting on this crucial piece of policy and that we can deliver on this promise. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.''”
