5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes has been appointed to serve on the House Committee on Agriculture. Hayes notes that the District is home to thriving cities as well as rolling hills and rural farming communities.  She says this committee will serve as a bridge between them and looks forward to being the voice of small family farmers, dairy farmers, conservationists, and all concerned with the future of agriculture and the protection of our waterways.  Hayes says another priority will be to ensure that food insecurity is not a reality for any family, by securing the future of food safety net programs like SNAP and school meal programs.
