MEETING WITH THE SIOUXLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE

From my Agriculture Advisory Board to the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce Agriculture Committee, meeting with farmers, producers, and other stakeholders is important to me for the upcoming Farm Bill.

I will continue to work to ensure that the voice of our agriculture community is heard loud and clear in the Farm Bill.

"BIDENOMICS" IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER

On metric after metric, President Biden’s economic agenda – which he has coined “Bidenomics” – has failed our families, farmers, small businesses, and rural communities.

His tax-and-spend policies have damaged our economy and added unnecessary burden to our families. We cannot continue on this path of reckless spending and leave our children and grandchildren to foot the bill.

The sorry state of the Biden economy

PROTECTING THE UNBORN

My faith teaches me that God creates every child for a purpose and a reason, and that every child — both born and unborn — has special gifts to offer the world and further His kingdom.

That's why I introduced the Protecting Girls with Turner Syndrome Act to protect unborn babies diagnosed with Turner syndrome from indiscriminate abortions and medical malpractice. As a devout Christian and a father of four, I will continue to support policies that defend the sanctity of life and protect the right to life for all.

VISITING THE GREAT PATHFINDER WIND PROJECT IN BOONE COUNTY
On my 36 County Tour this week, I visited the Great Pathfinder Wind project in Boone County.

To secure American energy independence, we must use an “all-of-the-above” approach to energy production, including power generation from wind. I will continue my work in Congress to make sure that we are not reliant on our adversaries for energy, and that the U.S. becomes an energy exporter once again.
SPEAKING WITH THE COON RAPIDS ROTARY

I had a great time speaking to the Coon Rapids Rotary over lunch on my 36 County Tour.

We covered the upcoming Farm Bill, the Ways and Means economic package, and my support for the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act to build and rehabilitate more homes in rural Iowa.
FIGHTING BACK AGAINST MEXICO'S BASELESS IOWA CORN BAN
Because we negotiated the successful USMCA trade agreement, Mexico has no right to reject American corn exports. 

I’m using my positions on the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Agriculture Committee to hold Mexico accountable for this blatant violation of our trade laws. 
Feenstra Fears Mexico Will Carry Out Threat To Stop...

Washington, DC -- One of the biggest buyers of Iowa corn is planning to cut off most of its purchases in 2024, though diplomatic efforts are still underway that aim to bring about a change in policy.

ONE LAST THING: MY DAY AT THE FAIR!

I had a blast at the Fair today meeting with Iowans, seeing friends, playing games, and enjoying all the great food.

I had the opportunity to see my friend, Colton, who was showing his cow; meet with folks from Christensen Farms and discuss issues impacting our pork producers; and serve delicious Iowa eggs to fairgoers at the Iowa Egg Council booth.

I hope that you can get down to Des Moines for all the fun!
MY WEEKLY COLUMN: LOWERING HOUSING COSTS FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES

Economic hardship caused, in large part, by President Biden’s wasteful spending policies and misguided attacks on American energy production recently broke another record. For the first time in over two decades, mortgage rates rose to 7.12% as the Federal Reserve continues its rate hikes to combat the inflation crisis spurred by reckless government spending. Even worse, there is no indication that this upward trajectory will reverse course in the coming months – spelling disaster for American families who want to purchase a home and plant their roots.

While President Biden continues to tout his tone-deaf “Bidenomics” agenda, I am working on solutions to help our families achieve the dream of homeownership without breaking the bank.
