Western Caucus

Chair @RepMaloyUtah | The Voice for Rural America in the House of Representatives 🦬

[Pete Stauber @RepPeteStauber]

I led a @westerncaucus trip to Northern Minnesota, where we stopped by the U.S. Forest Service’s Unified Command Center to learn about their work to combat the ongoing wildfires.

Their efforts are heroic and it was an honor to personally thank the National Guard, firefighters, and emergency crews for everything they are doing to keep us safe!

[Western Caucus @westerncaucus]

Closing out the weekend, our Members got a firsthand look at Minnesota's wildfire response efforts and the devastating impact of active wildfires. As wildfire season continues, these on the ground insights help inform the work we do in Washington to support the front lines!

[Western Caucus @westerncaucus]

This weekend, we were in Minnesota to see its incredible potential firsthand. From mining to logging, the state's abundant natural resources are a powerhouse for jobs, growth, and America's future. The Western Caucus is ready to help unlock that potential.

The quantum edge is no longer theoretical, it's deployable. Redefining critical minerals, water security, and national security. Thanks to @infleqtion for a great discussion on the future of quantum!!

On this day 136 years ago, the Gem State officially became the 43rd U.S. state.

We sure are blessed to call it home. Happy Idaho Statehood Day!

Washington's headlines don't determine success—Nebraska’s families do.

One year later, the Working Families Tax Cuts are helping Nebraskans keep more of what they earn and strengthening communities across our state.

As a dairyman, I'll never miss an opportunity to honor the California dairy industry.

Whether it's a glass of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or banana milk, celebrating our dairy producers is always bipartisan!

[Rep. David Valadao @RepDavidValadao]

This National Dairy Month, I was excited to bring Central Valley milk across the country to Washington.

Dairy producers in California work tirelessly to provide the nation with nutritious dairy products, and this month we celebrate their dedication.

[Rep. Eli Crane @RepEliCrane]

The Trump administration has implemented sweeping NEPA reforms to accelerate development and cut through red tape.

Rural Arizonans greatly appreciate this commonsense approach to unlocking growth, investment, and opportunity:

As we celebrate the last day of National Dairy Month, I urge my colleagues to join me in standing with America's dairy farmers by supporting my REAL Butter Act.

[Rep. Harriet Hageman @RepHageman]

What a treat to visit the Great American State Fair on the National Mall, especially the Wyoming booth. Nothing beats seeing a piece of home here in DC.

[Rep. Randy Feenstra @RepFeenstra]

I am honored to announce that communities in Northwest Iowa will receive more than $27 million in FEMA Disaster Relief funding for recovery following the devastating floods and other natural disasters, including $22 million for the City of Rock Valley.

I have worked closely with local officials and FEMA in Washington, D.C., to help ensure our communities receive the support and resources they need to recover.

Our work is not done. I will continue working with local, state, and federal officials to secure every federal dollar needed to help Northwest Iowa fully recover and rebuild.

[Congressman Brad Finstad @RepFinstad]

June is National Turkey Lovers’ Month! As we close out the month, I want to thank all of the hardworking turkey producers across #MN01 who make Minnesota the #1 turkey state.

[Congressman Mark Messmer @RepMessmer]

Today, I joined @CongressmanGT in introducing the Securing America's Workforce Act.

I am proud to stand alongside Hoosier farmers as we work to make sure they have the labor they need to continue feeding America. 🐄 🇺🇸

[Rep. Jeff Hurd @RepJeffHurd]

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and I spoke this morning about the devastating wildfires across Colorado’s Third District and the ongoing response, including dedicated work by the U.S. Forest Service. We discussed the federal resources needed to support impacted communities and those on the front lines. 

My office will continue working with our federal, state, and local partners to help ensure Colorado and #CO03 has the resources and support needed to respond to these fires as safely and effectively as possible. @SecRollins

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

.@CongressmanGT just dropped the Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act! This bill delivers massive wins specifically built for our agriculture industry.

How it helps Western Minnesota producers:
- Extends H-2A temporary worker definitions up to 350 days, allowing industries like dairy, poultry, and specialty crops to be eligible for the program
- Changes the definition of H-2A workers from "seasonal" to "temporary", opening the program up to operations that need year-round labor.
- Reduces compliance costs by slashing red tape through multi-year certifications.

It's time to bring well-deserved workforce stability to our family farms!

[Congressman Troy Downing @RepTroyDowning]

Last week, @NatResources advanced the Great American Outdoors Act 250.

Montana’s public lands are central to our way of life. They support local jobs and strengthen gateway communities.

This bill improves access and helps preserve these treasured places for future generations.

Quantum technology is shaping tomorrow, and today the Western Caucus and @Halliburton had the privilege of hosting a briefing on what lies ahead. Today's science fiction is tomorrow's quantum reality. Ready for the future?

[Rep. Mike Flood @USRepMikeFlood]

June is National Dairy Month!

With nearly 50,000 dairy cows and thousands of jobs supported statewide, Nebraska’s dairy industry continues to grow and expand.

From the farm to the processing plant, Nebraska dairy helps feed families across our nation and around the world 🥛🐄

[Congressman Jim Baird @RepJimBaird]

Attention Hoosier farmers!

@SecRollins and @USDA announced a final Regenerative Feedstock Rule that will help farmers access the biofuel market and create more opportunities for American biofuel producers. Glad to see this move from USDA that will strengthen Indiana agriculture and American energy dominance.
