Agri-Pulse Newsmakers: July 12, 2024: Rep. David Rouzer, R-N.C., Ray Starling and Barbara Patterson on WOTUS, Prop 12 and rural voters

After the Supreme Court’s recent overruling of the Chevron doctrine, many major House committees are probing for regulations that may “run afoul” of the new administrative regime, according to North Carolina Republican Rep. David Rouzer. He joins Newsmakers to discuss how the Biden administration’s “waters of the U.S.” rule could be vulnerable due to the decision, as well as priorities Republicans want to convey to voters at the Republican National Convention next week.


Then, Ray Starling of the North Carolina Chamber and Barbara Patterson from Torrey Advisory Group discuss issues important to rural voters and the potential impact of the GOP platform’s proposed tariffs on farm country.
