Statement

Date: Sept. 22, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Agriculture and Food

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement today after the U.S. House of Representatives voted 400-20 yesterday to pass the Emergency Citrus Disease Response Act (H.R. 3957), which Rubio cosponsored in the Senate in May.

"Now that the House has voted overwhelmingly to pass the Emergency Citrus Disease Response Act, it's time for the Senate to do the same next week. We need to get this bill to the president's desk as soon as possible, so we can help our citrus growers deal with this disease that is decimating their crops."
