URGING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE E-15 AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND
E-15 has the incredible potential to lower gas prices for Iowa families while helping make our country energy independent again.
I am proud to work with Governor Reynolds and my colleagues in Congress to urge the Biden Administration to make E-15 available at the gas pump 365 days a year - permanently.

MY RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT BIDEN'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
On Tuesday night, President Biden ignored the destructive consequences of his liberal agenda and doubled down on his failed policies.
I am also disappointed that he failed to mention China’s reckless purchase of American farmland and Mexico’s assault on Iowa corn growers. These are issues critical to rural America that require serious solutions and steady leadership – of which the Biden Administration lacks both.
It is unfortunate that rural America is last on his list of priorities.

MY MEETING WITH THE IOWA FARM BUREAU
It was great to meet with folks from the Iowa Farm Bureau earlier this week to discuss our shared priorities for the Farm Bill and our serious concerns with Mexico’s blatant violations of the USMCA.
Serving on both the House Agriculture Committee and the Ways and Means Committee, I’ll continue to be a strong voice for Iowa agriculture.

WAYS AND MEANS FIELD HEARING
On Monday, I participated in a Ways and Means field hearing in West Virginia on the state of the American economy.
Due to wasteful spending in D.C., families, farmers, and small businesses are paying more for less. It’s safe to say the state of the Biden economy is failing.
I will continue to fight for policies that will get us back on track towards a more prosperous future.

RURAL OPIOID ABUSE PREVENTION ACT
Last year, Senator Chuck Grassley and I introduced our Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act - which is now law - to combat the opioid epidemic in rural America. Too many families have lost a loved one to this crisis, and we are optimistic our law can make a real difference.

ONE MORE THING: CHINA'S SPY BALLOON
China's balloon deployment was nothing more than a surveillance mission to identify our military bases and infiltrate our country.
I will not tolerate China’s efforts to jeopardize our national security, buy up our farmland, or threaten our families. Instead, we must hold China accountable for their reckless actions and project strong leadership on the global stage.
