Rep. Marshall Joins USMCA Rally

Statement

This morning U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D., joined Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-MN), Ranking Member and former Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway (R-TX), and Ranking Member and former Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) at a rally advocating for the passage of the USMCA trade deal.

After months of uncertainty regarding its passage on the House floor, Chairman Peterson noted he believes the trade deal will be passed "in the next month or two." To see comments from Congressman Marshall and former Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, click here.

"Canada and Mexico are America's two best trading partners. It's important we protect and continue these great relationships and move our trade practices into the 21st Century," Dr. Marshall said. "Passage of USMCA is vital to our farmers, manufacturers, and energy sector. For months I have been demanding Speaker Pelosi bring the legislation to the floor for a vote to deliver this trade deal for Kansas and all of the U.S."

The bipartisan rally focused on the positive impacts and billions of dollars the trade deal would deliver for Americans. Kansas exports more than $4.4 billion in goods to Canada and Mexico annually. The new agreement would secure greater market access for agricultural goods, protect intellectual property for all industries, and update the Rules of Origin to encourage more goods and materials to be manufactured in the U.S.
