Dear Friends,
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. As I reflect on the many blessings God has given me, I'm especially thankful for my wife, Martha, my daughter, Liza, my son, Payne, and my father, Jay. They are the most important people in my life. I'm also grateful for the opportunity you've given me to represent you in Congress; it is truly a privilege to be your voice, bringing your policy ideas from Arkansas to Washington.
Happy Thanksgiving
From my family to yours, Martha, Liza, Payne and I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Keeping Agriculture Strong in the Natural State
I thank the Arkansas Farm Bureau, particularly Randy Veach (far left), and Stanley Hill (far right), for naming me a ‘Friend of the Farm Bureau,’ which is presented to Members of Congress for their exemplary voting records in support of agriculture and Arkansas Farm Bureau priority issues.
Farming is an integral part of Arkansas’s economy and heritage, and it’s an honor to support policies in Congress that help our hardworking farmers like the Jana and Damon Helton thrive. I was fortunate to visit the Helton's beautiful place near Crows this week. Jana and Damon Helton (pictured to my right) produce sustainable poultry, beef and pork. I am proud of their hard work to establish this great farm. Damon served honorably in Iraq and Afghanistan. When he returned to Arkansas, the Farm Bureau's Patriot Program for veterans paired Damon with a mentor to help him kickstart his successful operation.

I look forward to continuing to support our farm families who work tirelessly to clothe and feed Arkansans and Americans across the country.
Enjoying Arkansas's Natural Beauty
I enjoyed a hike through a beautiful section of the Ouachita National Forest that is soon to be Bethune Woods, named for a tireless conservationist and advocate for Arkansas wilderness, my good friend, former Arkansas Congressman Ed Bethune. My bill to expand the Flatside Wilderness passed the House last week with a unanimous vote on the floor It is now one step closer to the finish line on the President’s desk. I'm excited that future generations will be able to explore and have access to more of the natural beauty our state has to offer.
