McDowell for Arkansas
@McDowell2026
This is a good start, but we still have a long way to go. China has agreed to purchase 12 million tons of soybeans this year and plans to return to 25 million tons in the years ahead. That is progress, but it is also a warning. When we give Beijing even an inch of control over our markets, they take a mile.
President Trump has done an excellent job standing firm for the American farmer and defending our trade position. What amazes me is how some in Congress want to strip him of that authority when they cannot even keep the government’s lights on. Leadership takes backbone, and on this front, he has it. It is the same kind of leadership I am fighting to bring to Arkansas.
Not one member of Arkansas’s delegation is sitting down with the White House to secure deals for our people. If they were, we would already see the same growth and opportunity other southern states are enjoying. Instead, we have a Representative more interested in pushing crypto policy on Washington than building prosperity at home.
Arkansas does not need another press conference. We need production, powered by the vast energy beneath our feet in the fourth district,forged with steel made in the First District, and harnessed in the Second to power the future. That is how we build America again, not with lawsuits and political theater, but with vision, grit, and results. I nor any American cares about the childless egos we care about making America and families the best they can be.
