I believe, having done oversight and accountability in prior jobs and now here on this committee, that publicly available body camera footage is a good thing.

I appreciate that, and we will be--I am brand new to the Congress but have seen excellent work from Abigail Spanberger and Ro Khanna and Mark Pocan and others on trying to figure out how we can support both the DOJ's work but also USDA's…
Let's make sure that even on a sometimes uneven playing field of corporate concentration, that they can still make it.
I appreciate how at the beginning of your remarks today you laid out how in the past there has been this view of get big or get out that has really hurt our consumers and our small farmers and small ranchers.

it is really important for us to highlight the amazing Federal employees that are doing the right thing for this country
