USMEF Statement on Advancement of Under Secretary for Trade Nomination

USMEF thanks the Senate Agriculture Committee for advancing the nomination of Alexis Taylor, an outstanding nominee who has strong, bipartisan support on Capitol Hill. USMEF had many opportunities to work with Ms. Taylor in her previous roles at USDA and we are confident she will continue to be a strong and effective voice for U.S. agriculture. We fully support her prompt confirmation by the Senate.

The year 2015 was just before a national election – which have major influences on policy paths, administration goals, and how farmers feel about their future.
