Angie Craig is all hat, no cattle

Last night, the House Agriculture Committee passed a Farm Bill that will empower Minnesota farmers and feed American families. Shamefully, Angie Craig put politics over producers.

What’s the beef? Angie Craig is following orders from her party bosses from behind closed doors instead of listening to hardworking farmers in her district.

Not bringing home the bacon: Angie Craig voted against 27 Minnesota provisions in this Farm Bill. Provisions like:

• Increasing Statutory Reference Price for commodities to help American farmers and producers keep up with rising costs.
• Enhancing disaster assistance programs and increasing eligibility for coverage.
• Holding China accountable by increasing cooperation between USDA and CFIUS to ensure foreign enemies cannot purchase American farmland.
• Reauthorizing nutrition programs to feed lower income families and children.
• Maintaining and boosting popular bipartisan conservation programs.

“Angie Craig is all hat and no cattle when it comes to sticking up for Minnesotans. Farmers and families can’t put all their eggs in Angie Craig’s basket and expect her to come through for them. Craig will be answering for this shameful partisan vote ‘til the cows come home this November.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
