Talking with Farmers during harvest. |
I was born to a farming family with deep roots in Eastern Washington. Growing up, I worked on the family orchard side by side with my parents and younger brother. Later on, I helped manage the family business. I know first-hand the challenges facing our family farms and ranches.
As a member of Congress, I’ve brought these experiences to our nation’s capital. I was proud to serve as a conferee on the 2007 Farm Bill, which was enacted into law in 2008, representing the interests of Eastern Washington farmers and ranchers. I continue to support policies that expand markets for our farmers, reduce their energy costs, increase their water supply and assure the future vitality of our land. I remain committed to Eastern Washington’s agricultural community.
