The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill to keep the federal government running through March, including $10 billion in agricultural assistance for farmers and $100 billion in disaster aid. The bill also dropped President-elect Donald Trump’s debt limit increase into the new year. The Senate is expected to quickly pass the bill, with President Biden signaling his intention to sign it. All four of Iowa’s congressional representatives voted in favor of the bill, citing support for struggling farmers and communities affected by natural disasters. Each representative issued statements regarding their votes, with a focus on providing relief for farmers and ensuring government efficiency. Representative Ashley Hinson credited President Trump’s leadership in avoiding a year-end spending spree and supporting Iowa farmers, while Representatives Zach Nunn and Randy Feenstra emphasized the importance of financial support for family farms and communities recovering from natural disasters. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks expressed her commitment to helping struggling farmers and working with President Trump on agricultural and economic initiatives. The bill is seen as a positive step towards providing much-needed assistance to Iowa’s agricultural sector and communities in need.
