During my time in Congress, I have been proud to support foreign assistance programs that not only aid our allies, partners, neighbors and potential new markets, but also serve to bolster U.S. security and economic opportunity. I look forward to continuing to champion our nation\u2019s critical role in saving lives, curing disease and feeding the hungry globally, including by ensuring our farmers have the tools and resources necessary to produce a safe and abundant food supply,\u201d Boozman said.\n\n\u201cAt a time of rising threats abroad, leaders like Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Senator Susan Collins, Senator John Boozman, and Representative Gregory Meeks prove that America\u2019s strength lies in its unity of purpose,\u201d said USGLC President & CEO Liz Schrayer. \u201cThey get it: showing up on the world stage with effective diplomacy and global development isn\u2019t just about helping others, it\u2019s about making a difference for America\u2019s kitchen table issues. It\u2019s how we outcompete China, safeguard our security, and grow our economy. I\u2019m enormously proud to see USGLC once again bring together hundreds of bipartisan leaders from across the public and private sectors for this annual celebration of change-makers\u2014because when these champions lead, America wins.\u201d\n\nAs the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, and a co-chair of the Senate Hunger Caucus, Boozman has crafted, shaped and passed policies to combat the global food security crisis. The senator is also a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and serves on the State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee that oversees funding for U.S. foreign assistance.\n\nIn October 2023, Boozman joined USGLC for its inaugural South Summit hosted in Little Rock. The event highlighted how states like Arkansas and others across the American South are impacted by America\u2019s leadership abroad.\n\nThe USGLC is a broad-based influential network of over 500 businesses and NGOs; national security and foreign policy experts; and business, faith-based, academic, military, and community leaders in all 50 states who support strategic investments in American foreign assistance and development. USGLC\u2019s Arkansas Advisory Committee brings together more than 50 prominent business, nonprofit, military, faith-based, political and academic leaders \u2013 co-chaired by former Senators Tim Hutchinson and Mark Pryor \u2013 who understand how American global leadership matters for Arkansas and why investments in development and diplomacy help keep America safe and strengthen Arkansas\u2019s economy.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.boozman.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=E6FAF3C8-E516-4CB7-AAD4-B7DA5DC90DA8"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3919670600444078, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
