Hey John, it’s John.
|
|
Everywhere I go when I travel across PA, families tell me they’re scraping by. I want them to know: My team and I have their backs.
|
|
As part of my work on the Senate Agriculture Committee, I’m doing everything I can to make sure our farmers have the resources they need so they can put food on folks' tables across our state and our country.
|
|
So as we're moving through harvest season, I wanted to drop you a line about what I've been up to lately:👇
|
|
🛑 Stopping Trump’s *Illegal* USDA Cuts → Trump’s team is gutting billions in funding Congress already approved from farm and food programs, and it even killed one of the programs that was helping keep small farms afloat. So I joined a multi-state lawsuit against the Trump administration to fight back against these reckless cuts.
|
|
🌾 Boosting Organic Science & Research Investment → Our organic farmers are leading the way, so I introduced a bill to boost USDA research and university funding so they can keep on the cutting edge of this growing industry.
|
|
🥚 Requiring Honest Egg Labels → I reintroduced this bipartisan bill to make sure egg “alternatives” don’t trick shoppers or shortchange real egg farmers – our commonwealth is one of the leading egg-producing states!
|
|
🍄 Protecting Mushroom Farmers → PA's the mushroom capital of the world. It’s only fair our farmers get the same crop insurance as everyone else. My bill kicks off that process.
|
|
🥪 Helping Our Kids Get Healthy Meals → I've introduced bills directing the USDA to wipe out all school meal debt, restore non-discrimination protections so every student can get a school meal, and add milk options in school lunches.
|
|
At the end of the day, John, supporting our farmers and feeding our kids isn’t a 🔴 or 🔵 issue.
So in the face of Big Ag and an administration hell-bent on screwing over the little guy, you bet I'm going to keep working to tackle food insecurity and fight for a Farm Bill and policies that support our small farmers and rural communities. They're a massive part of what makes PA what it is. If you’re with me, will you chip in a few bucks to keep up the fight? Every dollar counts.

Thanks for reading and for all that you do, John.
