Issue Position

Bruce Braley fights for Iowa agriculture because of where he comes from. Bruce grew up in rural Iowa working on Iowa farms, detasseling corn and baling hay. Bruce has worked at a grain elevator, driving a truck, cleaning out grain bins, and delivering feed.

Representing Iowans in Congress, Bruce has kept fighting for Iowa farmers and agriculture. That's why he worked for three years to pass a long-delayed comprehensive Farm Bill. He also worked to bring Republicans and Democrats together to protect the Renewable Fuel Standard and the Wind Energy Production Tax Credit. Bruce fought the EPA when they tried to impose farm dust regulations on Iowa farmers, and he stood up to the administration when they tried to impose labor restrictions that would stop children from working on their own family farm. And he'll keep fighting for Iowa agriculture in the US Senate.
