Nebraska Farm Bureau Endorses Rep. Adrian Smith for Re-election
LINCOLN, NEB. – The Nebraska Farm Bureau Political Action Committee (NEFB-PAC) has endorsed U.S. Rep. Adrian Smith for re-election to Nebraska’s 3rd Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, recognizing his strong support of policy priorities critical to Nebraska farmers and ranchers. Nebraska Farm Bureau First Vice President Katie Olson, chair of NEFB-PAC, said the endorsement reflects Smith’s work advancing issues important to agriculture.
“Serving in a leadership position on the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Smith has given Nebraska’s farm and ranch families an influential voice in tax, trade, and health care issues, all important to our members,” said Olson.
As Chairman of the Trade Subcommittee, Smith tirelessly supports efforts to expand agriculture trade and has worked to find new markets for Nebraska agricultural products. He publicly pushed back on Mexico’s attempt to ban genetically modified white corn from being imported into their country in violation of the US Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Congressman Smith not only understands the importance of trade but has taken an active role in advancing trade agreements which have benefited farmers, ranchers, and businesses across our great nation. It is good to know Congressman Smith is there to ensure agriculture is included in existing and future trade deals,” Olson said.
Olson says Smith also received the designation based on his ongoing efforts to secure year-round E-15 usage, as well as his support for the One Big Beautiful Bill which, extended the lower tax rates included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, a key Farm Bureau priority, and included Farm Bill reforms with important updates to the farm safety net.
“Nebraska’s farm and ranch families are already very well served by Congressman Smith given his expertise on trade and tax policy as well as his push to limit their regulatory burdens. It is for all of these reasons and more that we are proud to again endorse Nebraska’s 3rd District Congressman Adrian Smith,” Olson said.
Rep. Smith earned the NEFB-PAC endorsement based on results of NEFB’s grassroots selection process, which involves gathering input from local county Farm Bureaus across the state.
The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service, and advocacy efforts. Nearly 55,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska’s economy.
