Issue Position: Agriculture

Issue Position

Agriculture is the heart of the Illinois 17th District, the proud home to thousands of farms. Our farmers add huge value to our economy, and that's why I'll work for agricultural innovation and a strong agricultural workforce. We need to make it easy for the next generation of farmers to be trained and developed. Our farmers need federal support when appropriate, but not federal interference. With innovative thinking, our farmers can be leaders on both environmental and conservation issues. And, as our Congresswoman, I'll be an outspoken advocate to protect our soybeans, corn, cattle and pork from being penalized in international trade wars.
