Agriculture

Tennessee is a leading agricultural state, a major producer of cattle, poultry, soybeans, cotton, tobacco, and timber, among other goods. On the House Agriculture Committee, I oversee efforts to open foreign markets, enforce free and fair trade, and increase economic opportunities in rural America, including infrastructure such as broadband, and education. Crop insurance and other regulations should benefit producers, consumers, and taxpayers alike. Also overseeing food assistance programs, my job is to make sure federal policies incentivize growth and jobs, not government dependence.
