Bryan Steil Lets Farm Bill Expire (Again) To Focus on His Campaign

The Farm Bill is expiring today after Bryan Steil left Washington for the next month to prioritize his campaign. Steil should have passed a new five year Farm Bill a year ago - instead, he let it expire for nearly 50 days last year and has failed to pass a new one yet again.

Over the last two years, Steil has done nothing to pass a new five year Farm Bill, putting 64,100 farms and 51,540 dairy jobs in Wisconsin at risk of missing out on critical monthly payments.

Wisconsin families will also pay the price - failure to pass a new Farm Bill could cost U.S. taxpayers nearly $20 billion dollars and more than double the price of milk at grocery stores.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Nothing is more important to Bryan Steil than keeping his seat in Washington, even if it means leaving Wisconsin farmers behind."
