Lucas re-elected to House Ag chair

Representative Frank Lucas of Oklahoma has been elected by the House Republican Conference to serve a second term as Chair of the House Agriculture Committee. Mr. Lucas says he is honored to serve as Chair of the committee:

“I am proud of the work the Committee has completed over the past two years. We have provided valuable oversight of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that our agricultural producers are not burdened with unreasonable and costly regulations.

“And, we advanced a strong, reform-minded, fiscally responsible farm bill that can save billions of dollars and provide certainty to our agricultural producers. This process is not complete though I am confident that it’s just a matter of time.

“I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure the health and vitality of production agriculture and rural economies.”
