Issue Position: Improving Agriculture

Issue Position

Protecting our agricultural economy is vital to the sustainability of Southern Illinois. That's why Mike has fought to reduce regulatory burdens that strangle our farmers and ranchers.

He's also worked to provide our producers with the tools they need to help mitigate against risk in a fiscally responsible way through the Farm Bill.

Additionally, Mike has sponsored critical legislation to help beginning farmers and ranchers access credit. He's also voted to make major investments in rural broadband that would benefit under-served areas like Southern Illinois.
