This week in Champions of Rural America, Texas Congressman Jodey Arrington discusses how his roots shape his decision-making and the issues facing producers in his state.
He serves Texas’s 19th congressional district which includes a large slab of the western portion of the state. While he does not sit on the House Ag Committee, he is a member of the Congressional Western Caucus.
As a member of the House Budget Committee and Ways and Means, Arrington says that the budget reconciliation process will advance President Trump’s “America first” policies. He said that includes restoring lawlessness at the border, military readiness, and turning the economy around.
