CONVEYING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FARM BILL FOR RURAL AMERICA TO SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON We need to get the Farm Bill written, passed, and signed into law as quickly as possible. Our farmers and producers are the breadbasket to the world and a key component of our economy in Iowa and nationwide. I’m proud to work with my colleague from Minnesota, Rep. Brad Finstad, and my Republican colleagues to convey to Speaker Mike Johnson the importance of the Farm Bill to our farmers, producers, and rural communities. I remain committed to banning China from buying American farmland, passing a strong Farm Bill for Iowa, and delivering for American agriculture. MY WORK TO SECURE OUR BORDER  We must secure our border and protect our communities. That's why I voted for the Secure the Border Act earlier this year to increase the number of border patrol agents stationed along the border. I also introduced the Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act, which would seize money from the drug cartels to finish the border wall and fund fentanyl treatment and recovery services for our families.

MY WEEKLY COLUMN: IRAN IS NO FRIEND OF THE UNITED STATES Iran has a long and repulsive history of funding terrorism, including the recent attacks by Hamas against the innocent people of Israel.
