More than half of the House Republican Conference has penned a letter to their own leadership, urging them to put the GOP’s farm bill on the floor during the upcoming lame-duck session.
The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024 passed out of the House Agriculture Commitful tee in May with all Republicans and four Democrats voting yes. But House GOP leadership has slow-walked the legislation to the floor due to concerns about flagging support from Democrats and Republicans.
The letter has high- profile House GOP supporters, including Agriculture Committee Chairman G.T. Thompson (Pa.), Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington (Texas), Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (Ky.), Natural Resources Chair Bruce Westerman ( Ark.), Foreign Affairs Chair Michael McCaul (Texas) and Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (Okla.).
The letter was led by Republican
Reps. Mark Alford (Mo.), Ashley Hinson ( Iowa), Mary Miller (Ill.) and Jen Kiggans (Va.).
The GOP lawmakers urge Speaker Mike Johnson to consider the farm bill a “must-pass” bill in the lame duck.
House Republican leadership has told us they are likely to pass a short-term extension of the current farm bill in the lame duck.
