We encourage USDA and FDA to carefully consider the feedback provided by stakeholders.

I look forward to working with you in that arena.

I do think the consensus is out there, maybe not on exactly what to do, but there is a need for change.

Folks do not believe this Administration is in their corner.

I know it is important throughout our dairy states. I am glad that dairy stakeholders are having serious discussions about the potential reforms to the Federal Milk Marketing Order system.

I ask on behalf of community-based broadband providers in my district who have a proven track record of deploying networks and delivering high-quality service as a small business in their communities.
