The GOP is gunning for the Farm Bill — but we’re not going to let them touch it.
John, Matt Gaetz just made the anti-climate right’s next plan of attack clear:
“A lot of the IRA green energy stuff that we sought repeal of in the [debt ceiling bill] we will probably seek repeal of in other legislative vehicles. The farm bill probably wouldn’t be spared.”— Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)
Folks, we’ve been seeing this trend all year: House Republicans have been hell-bent on stripping the key climate funding we secured through the Inflation Reduction Act, even at the expense of their own communities.
Representatives like Gaetz are so clearly out of touch with their own constituents that, despite the huge demand for the agricultural funding in their home districts, they’re choosing to follow the agendas of their oil and gas mega donors instead.
John, our Members won’t let Congress turn their back on farmers.
SEEC’s Climate and Agriculture Task Force — led by Reps. Chellie Pingree (Maine) and Kim Schrier (Washington) — is fighting to continue pushing the Farm Bill forward, and we know we’re going to have a tough battle ahead against our GOP majority.
With agriculture responsible for producing 11 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions in 2020, it’s more important than ever to invest in initiatives like the Farm Bill that will help to mitigate these effects and protect the environment.
Thanks to your help in 2022, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 118th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustainable future.
