Open Mic: U.S. Representative Mark Alford

This week’s Open Mic guest is Representative Mark Alford. The Missouri Republican joins the chorus of other farm state representatives calling for a new farm bill this year. Alford supports the House Agriculture Committee’s farm bill with updated reference prices and improved SNAP benefits. He believes the EPA is overstepping its authority on tail pipe emission standards and regulation of crop pesticides. Alford says conflict in the Black Sea and Middle East could have extreme consequences on the U.S. economy and American people.
