Agriculture
Georgia’s farmers, ranchers, and producers are the backbone of our state’s most important industry: agriculture.
As a Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture and the Co-Chair of the Congressional Chicken Caucus, I am a staunch supporter of the agricultural community in the Second Congressional District of Georgia and the entire nation. I support assistance to farmers affected by drought, wildfires, and other natural disasters that occur each year. In addition, I have worked to reform the H2-A program for non-immigrant agricultural workers, bolster child nutrition programs in our nation’s schools, prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from imposing burdensome regulations on the forestry industry, ensure that Mexican tomatoes and chicken do not drive down the prices of U.S.-produced tomatoes and chicken due to illegal dumping, and advance agricultural research, food safety initiatives, and broadband services to rural communities.
