Today, in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and members of the House Republican Conference unveiled the "Commitment to America," a policy framework to build a strong American economy and overcome the failed policies from Congressional Democrats and the Biden Administration. Following the press conference, Glenn "GT" Thompson, Republican Leader of the House Committee on Agriculture, issued the following statement:
"One of the primary pillars of Leader McCarthy's 'Commitment to America' is delivering an economy that is strong. The U.S. agriculture industry continues to face fractured supply chains, skyrocketing input costs, and historic levels of inflation, all of which are hampering producers' ability to provide a safe and abundant food supply. I have always said food security is national security, yet the reckless policies and regulatory burdens coming from Congressional Democrats and the Biden Administration present a generational threat to American agriculture. The 'Commitment to America' agenda can help us reverse this dangerous trajectory and rebuild a robust rural economy that unleashes domestic production of food and fiber."
Over the past year, House Agriculture Committee Republicans supported the "Commitment to America" plan through roundtable discussions and identifying and developing policy solutions in coordination with House GOP taskforces. Read more below.
