I will not apologize for advancing a bill that seeks to put the farm back into farm bill.
Our Nation's small and rural communities depend on commercial air service for transportation, medical supplies, commercial goods.
I also won't apologize for advancing a bill that was written by every Member of this Committee.
If there are Members on the other side of the aisle who truly want to see a farm bill come to fruition this year, my door remains open to renegotiation from any partner willing to come to the table with a serious proposal and not more redlines.
