National Corn Growers Association Applauds Thune for Securing New Leadership Role

National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) President Kenny Hartman commended Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today after the policymaker was elected as the new Senate majority leader.

"We want to congratulate Sen. John Thune for being selected by the Republican Conference as Senate majority leader," Hartman said. "The senator has been a staunch ally of corn growers and rural communities, and we look forward to continuing our work with him in this new capacity."

Hartman also expressed his appreciation for the current majority leader.

"We also want to thank Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for his years of service to this country and for all that he has accomplished for growers during his time as majority leader," Hartman said.

The new Congress will be sworn in on January 3, at which point Thune will officially assume his new role.
