Imagine wanting to replace one of the hardest working Representatives with Wacky-Taffy. Keep on rocking Dusty!
And yet she barely lost.
ha. if 59-41% is ‘barely’ come on now.
Honest question. What has he done to promote Ag by way of passed and signed into law bills? I don’t mean this to be negative. Just curious.
you’re as able as any of us to go to congress.gov. short answer: johnson has eyes on all the ag bills and exerts all the influence he needs to exert. he isn’t distracted by all the tea party posing some of his politic-playing numbskull colleagues make much time for.
Go to his House website, click on “issues,” then “Agriculture” and you’ll see info on stuff he’s passed out of the House, including the Butcher Block Act, the FEEDD act, and the Cattle Contract Library.
