Since I was first elected, I have traveled to every county in Iowa’s 4^th Congressional District at least twice a year. It’s a commitment that I made to my constituents that I would be transparent and accessible while taking their concerns, ideas, and suggestions back to Congress and offering meaningful solutions to the problems facing our communities, state, and nation.

The other week, I had the pleasure of meeting with members of Iowans Supporting Israel – an incredible non-profit organization of Iowans who are passionate advocates of U.S.-Israel relations -and recounting my recent trip to Israel as part of a congressional delegation. I also had the opportunity to answer very thoughtful questions about the need to continue supporting Israel and the threat that Hamas and terrorists everywhere pose to our world.

Since I was first elected to Congress, I made a pledge to Iowans that I would visit every county in the 4^th Congressional District at least twice a year to hear directly from my constituents about the issues that matter most to them. Dubbed my 36 County Tour, I have made several stops in Pocahontas County over the last several years to tour main-street businesses, pharmacies, and manufacturers as well as chat with local residents.

On October 1^st, the new President of Mexico – Claudia Sheinbaum – was officially sworn into office. While politics in Mexico may seem inconsequential to domestic affairs here in the United States, this development is very significant for our country, and particularly for our agricultural community.
