Agriculture
I fought to join the House Agriculture Committee because farming is vital to the Hudson Valley’s economy and our way of life. By providing healthy food to our communities, state, and nation, our farmers create thousands of jobs and bring millions of dollars to our region.
For more information concerning my work and views on agriculture issues, please contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
