Newhouse Statement on House Agriculture Committee Advancing Reconciliation Legislation

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) released the following statement after voting to advance the House Agriculture Committee's portion of the One, Big, Beautiful bill with a 29-25 vote.

"My colleagues and I on the House Agriculture Committee have delivered common-sense reforms to SNAP and critical pieces of the Farm Bill in this legislation," said Rep. Newhouse. "When enacted, our portion of the reconciliation package will rein in out-of-control spending and make unprecedented strides in reducing the deficit. Expanding our foreign market access programs has been a top priority of mine, and I am proud that our bill delivers farmers and ranchers the important resources needed to compete in global markets. I thank Chairman Thompson for his leadership as we continue to work hard for the American agriculture industry."

This Friday, May 16, the House Budget Committee is scheduled hold a markup of the full reconciliation package with the Agriculture Committee's legislation included.
