Marco Rubio Announces Growing Support From Iowa Agriculture Leaders
Today, the Marco Rubio for President campaign released a growing group of Iowa agriculture leaders supporting Marco's vision for a New American Century.
"Marco Rubio is the next generation leader America needs in the White House," said State Senator Dan Zumbach. "As president, Marco Rubio will help Iowa farmers by rolling back job-killing EPA overreach. He knows outdated Washington red tape harms our economy and has a plan to empower farmers, not unelected bureaucrats."
“I support Marco Rubio for president because he has a deep understanding of the issues facing agriculture in the 21st century and how Washington’s burdensome regulations impact Iowa agriculture," said Gage Kent, Chairman and CEO, Kent Corporation. "Marco Rubio’s pro-growth, pro-family tax reform allows Iowans to invest and grow their businesses, not turn them over to the government.”
"As president, Marco Rubio will be a consistent defender of Iowa farmers and agriculture," said Grant Kimberley of the Iowa Biodiesel Board. "Unlike other candidates, Marco Rubio will not change his position based on what audience he is talking to, what state he is in, or which way the polling is swinging. It is important to have a principled, conservative president who supports farming and that’s why I am for Marco Rubio."
