WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — For more than 30 years, the Congressional Western Caucus has worked to restore prosperity to rural economies while upholding the Western way of life. That mission now continues under new leadership.
Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT) was recently elected chair of the Congressional Western Caucus and joined Market Day Report for the latest installment of Champions of Rural America to discuss her priorities in the new role.
The conversation comes as major news breaks from Washington: the Supreme Court of the United States struck down tariffs imposed under emergency powers. The Court ruled 6–3 that the president lacks the authority to impose duties without congressional approval, prompting widespread discussion of next steps and potential impacts on agriculture.
In her conversation with RFD NEWS, Rep. Maloy shared her initial thoughts on the ruling, reflected on her background and journey with the Western Caucus, and outlined her priorities for the group moving forward. She also discussed what she is most excited to work on as chair and how the caucus’s efforts have supported her district and rural America as a whole.
On Champions of Rural America, Rep. Dusty Johnson underscores the Western Caucus’ ongoing commitment to advocating for farmers and rural communities.
