Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), Jodey Arrington (R-TX), Jim Costa (D-CA), Dusty Johnson (R-SD), Ron Kind (D-WI), and Randy Feenstra (R-IA) led a bipartisan group of 87 Members of Congress in a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack urging them to make agriculture a priority in the upcoming Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (Framework).

The Indo-Pacific region offers ample opportunity for our farmers and ranchers, and the Framework has the potential to reduce discriminatory barriers and increase access for our producers in these markets. This bipartisan group looks forward to the Biden Administration’s focus on agriculture in the upcoming discussions. The letter to Secretary Vilsack and Ambassador Tai can be viewed here. “American agriculture producers lead th

SALINAS, CA – On Wednesday, March 23 Rep. Jimmy Panetta wrote to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Shalanda Young reiterating his call remove the former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research building in Pacific Grove from the auction block and instead consider a public conveyance of the property.

The letter highlights insufficient community outreach and demonstrates that potential bidders have not been properly notified of the zoning requirements of the California Coastal Commission’s (CCC) approved Local Coastal Plan (LCP). The letter notes a recent resolution approved by the City Council of Pacific Grove supporting a conveyance of the property. “We’re continuing our efforts to get the federal bureaucracy to listen to t
