When I was elected to represent Iowa’s 4th Congressional District, I made a solemn promise to Iowa farmers and producers that I would be the strongest voice for agriculture and our farm families in Congress.

China constitutes a serious threat to American prosperity and our national security. In their attempts to diminish our strength on the world stage, the Chinese Communist Party has deployed spy balloons in our sovereign airspace to surveil our military bases, unleashed the COVID-19 virus on the world, and continuously flouted international security norms. China has even set their sights on rural America and our most vital, yet finite resource – our farmland.
Food production is an arduous industry. Between high input costs and regulatory barriers to economic uncertainty and supply-chain bottlenecks, farming has only become more difficult than it already is, pinching our producers’ bottom lines and making every dollar earned worth less. However, in Iowa, even as other states attempt to regulate how we raise our animals, our farmers don’t complain. They work long hours on tight budgets to feed our country and the world.
On June 28th, President Biden traveled to Chicago — the epitome of failed liberal policies — to tout the so-called successes of his economic agenda, which he has coined “Bidenomics.” According to the President, “Bidenomics” has unleashed the greatest economic boom in American history.

Those who don’t see the benefits of “Bidenomics” just haven’t been watching — according to Biden, of course.
