As a State Senator, I have been proud to work with the Georgia Chamber to help grow and expand our agriculture industry —which has helped make Georgia the best place to do business eight years running. As Agriculture Commissioner, I look forward to working with job creators across the state to deliver funding to our farmers in record time, empower our local and family farms, expand rural broadband and support our state’s number one industry for generations to come.”
