Update From Congressman Trent Kelly

June 12, 2023

Dear Friend,

Our adversaries are testing the United States and what we represent on the world stage. They are challenging our resolve and the cohesion of our alliances. The House Intelligence Committee recently held a hearing with five former HPSCI members about how to best strengthen U.S. national security. From countering the Chinese Communist Party to preventing terrorist attacks, my colleagues and I on HPSCI are committed to keeping the American people safe. To watch an excerpt from the hearing, please click on the link.

community college agriculture advancement act OF 2023

Agriculture is the number one industry in Mississippi, contributing $7.9 billion to the state's economy and employing approximately 260,000 Mississippians. Over the years, we have seen the advancement of farming techniques and machinery, which requires a well-trained agriculture industry workforce. I introduced the Community College Agriculture Advancement Act of 2023 along with U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal in the U.S. House of Representatives. This legislation would create a USDA grant program designed to enhance community college agriculture programs. A companion bill has been introduced in the United States Senate.
