Rep. Kristi Noem today made the following statement regarding the House’s failure to pass the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013 (Farm Bill): "A majority of the House of Representatives today failed to do the right thing for producers and consumers across the country. I am incredibly disappointed that while we were able to pass this bill out of the Agriculture Committee with strong bipartisan support, members today were unable to put their own politics aside to do what’s best for the American people. "I’m committed to passing this Farm Bill and remain hopeful we will be able to regroup in the coming days and figure out a way to bring a bipartisan majority of the House together in support of this bill." Today’s vote was 195-234, with Noem voting in favor of the bill. A majority of 218 was needed for passage. 171 Republicans and 24 Democrats voted for the bill. |
