Rep. Fitzgerald Supports Legislation to Enhance American Agriculture and National Security
Congressman Scott Fitzgerald of Wisconsin's 5th District has voted in favor of H.R. 8646, known as the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2027. This legislation aims to bolster the U.S. food supply chain by prioritizing farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. It includes investments in rural infrastructure, agricultural research, and food safety inspections. Additionally, the bill seeks to mitigate foreign influence in U.S. agriculture by enhancing oversight of foreign-owned farmland, particularly from nations considered adversarial, such as China. Fitzgerald emphasized the importance of food security as a component of national security.
