Congresswoman Cindy Axne, who represents Warren County and Iowa’s third congressional district, was appointed to sit on the House Agriculture Committee, serving as the sole representative from Iowa.

Axne said of the appointment:

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve as a voice for Iowa farmers on the House Agriculture Committee, Agriculture is not only an economic driver and job creator in our state, but our Iowa farmers and producers feed people here at home and around the world. Ensuring our agriculture industry thrives is not only beneficial for Iowa’s economy, but the entire country.”

Axne was also appointed to the House Financial Services Committee.
