Farmers First
The Farmers First is committed to bold policy solutions, restoring rural prosperity and strengthening America’s agricultural leadership. From the fisheries of the Bayou to the corn fields of the heartland, AFPI is supporting state and local leaders as they seek to revitalize communities across their states.
- Eliminate Food Stamp Fraud (SNAP Reform)
- Produce, Manufacture, and Sell American Food (Make Food American Again)
- Protect American Farmland from Foreign Adversaries
- Revive America’s Rural Communities (Rural Prosperity)
China Policy Initiative
For decades, D.C. insiders and Wall Street elites perpetuated the lie that American engagement with Communist China would cause that nation to open, to liberalize, and to reform. Even as evidence accumulated to the contrary, some benefitted from this deception, continuing to profit off of China at the expense of America’s stature and America’s workers. AFPI advances policies that confront an existential rival to our Nation and our livelihood.
