THANKING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FOR PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY FROM THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY I want to thank President Trump and FBI Director Patel for detaining and charging two Chinese nationals with ties to the Chinese Community Party who unlawfully smuggled a dangerous fungus into our country. This highly contagious pathogen is very destructive to agriculture and can even harm human health. From buying up our farmland to infiltrating our universities, this is a stark reminder that the CCP will do anything to undermine our national security and agricultural dominance. I remain committed to working with President Trump to protect our country from the CCP and its illegal activities. Patel sounds alarm as Chinese nationals charged with smuggling 'agroterrorism agent' into US: 'direct threat' Two Chinese nationals -- a University of Michigan fellow and her researcher boyfriend -- are accused of smuggling a "potential agroterrorism weapon" into the U.S. Read More LEADING THE EFFORT TO MAKE HOUSING MORE AFFORDABLE FOR IOWANS On Wednesday morning, I spoke with affordable housing advocates to discuss how President Trump’s “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” will lower housing costs for Iowa families.

MY WEEKLY COLUMN: IOWA FAMILIES WILL BENEFIT FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP'S "ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL" In the 1800s, American settlements began appearing across Iowa’s sprawling prairies. Families, young and old, ventured out West, braving terrifying prairie fires, tornadoes, and uncertainty, in search of a better life. Early communities were often built around families coexisting and growing together. In 2025, not much has changed. Iowa’s landscape is dotted with small towns occupied by family names dating back generations. This is one of the things that I love most about Iowa. That’s why I’m using my voice in Congress—in both the Ways and Means and Agriculture Committees—to stick up for our families and work for the generations of farmers who have tilled the land over and over again.
