Thanks for visiting!
A lot of great groups have come out to D.C. and I'm grateful to be able to have talked with so many people that are as passionate about our strong rural communities as I am.
The American Seed Trade Association is one of the oldest trade organizations in the country. I appreciated hearing from them on the roles their members play and challenges they are facing in areas like tax credits for expensing research and development, or R & D. The One Big Beautiful Bill allows for the immediate expensing of domestically conducted R & D through 2030.
The Minnesota Propane Association was in D.C. and I was glad to talk to them about issues and legislation concerning their marketers, dealers, and customers. Their association serves 233,000 homes, farms, and businesses that depend on propane every day.
When the Minnesota Farm Bureau was in town, I got to share with them all the great victories for our ag industries in the House’s One Big Beautiful Bill like enhancements to make crop insurance more affordable, investing in the livestock biosecurity safety net, and doubling funding for the Market Access Program and Foreign Market Development Program.
It’s always great talking with the wonderful ladies of MEPS! Thanks so much to the alums and fellows for coming out to D.C. – I hope you enjoyed your trip.
Thank you to AARP for meeting with me to talk about the issues that matter to America’s retirees and what Congress can do to help.
I appreciated hearing the Minnesota County Officials’ perspectives when they were in D.C., and I look forward to staying in close contact as Congress works to pass legislation that helps our rural communities in particular.
It was great meeting with members of the Associated Builders and Contractors and hearing about all the organization does to advocate for our construction workers. Thanks for meeting with me!
I had a great time talking with a Minnesota 4-H group and showing them around the Capitol. I hope you all had a great trip!
