MY TIME AT THE 2022 FARM PROGRESS SHOW IN BOONE
In August, I had the opportunity to host several of my colleagues at the 2022 Farm Progress Show in Boone. From precision agriculture to renewable fuels, Iowa has so much to offer our country and the world.
When we cut red tape and let Iowa farmers and their families grow the most abundant and affordable food supply in the world, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.

MY COMMITMENT TO IOWA TAXPAYERS
In Congress, a top priority of mine is protecting 4th District taxpayers. While Biden has wasted trillions of dollars advancing his liberal vision for America, I’ve always opposed his radical agenda and stood strong for taxpayers.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE INCREASES INTEREST RATES AGAIN
Earlier this week, the Federal Reserve again increased interest rates by 75 basis points to combat inflation. Ignoring the serious ramifications, President Biden put $6 TRILLION on our federal credit card, and American families continue to suffer the consequences.
While the Democrats believe they can tax and spend our economy into prosperity, they’ve achieved exactly the opposite. We must focus on policies that lift our families up and let them keep more of their hard-earned money.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: EPA CONSIDERING EXPANDING MIDWEST E15 GASOLINE SALES
The EPA will seek public comment on allowing year-round sales of higher ethanol gasoline blends in the Midwest.
I have been working consistently to push this issue as a way to help our farmers be successful and ease the pain at the pump our families are feeling due to this administration's failed policies. I hope the EPA will do the right thing and allow for this expansion which benefits everyone.
