TALKING THE FARM BILL IN STORM LAKE
As the breadbasket to our country and the world, Iowa farmers and producers deserve a strong Farm Bill. That's why I stopped in Storm Lake to meet with our agricultural community to listen to their priorities and hear their thoughts.
In my new role on the House Ways and Means Committee, I am well positioned to protect crop insurance, open foreign markets, defend like-kind exchange and step-up in basis, and ease WOTUS regulations.

MY NEW BILL TO ADDRESS TRUCKER SHORTAGES AND SUPPLY-CHAIN BOTTLENECKS
From food and fuel to furniture and fertilizer, Iowa truckers work overtime to keep our shelves stocked and our supply chains moving. However, federal overregulation has exacerbated trucker shortages and prevented household goods that our families rely on from reaching market.
I’m proud to help introduce commonsense legislation with my colleague Rep. Brian Mast of Florida to eliminate bureaucratic red tape, streamline our supply chains, and keep more qualified, safe drivers on the road and on the job.
