U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin has been appointed Chair of the federal Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies.
Randy Romanski, Secretary-designee of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) approved of this appointment, saying “She is an excellent choice to lead this important subcommittee. As Congress makes decisions on COVID-19 relief, the 2022 Farm Bill, and many other federal funding programs, I know Sen. Baldwin will continue to be a leading voice in support of Wisconsin’s producers, processors, and agri-businesses.”
The Senate Committee on Appropriations is responsible for writing the legislation that allocates federal funding to numerous government agencies, departments, and organizations each year.
