Austin Scott Leads Letter to the Department of Labor Opposing New Proposed H-2A Rule | 2023-11-15 | 2023 | 2023-11 | Republican | House | GA | Austin Scott | S001189 | austinscott.house.gov | austinscott | https://austinscott.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C.-- U.S. Representative Austin Scott (GA-08) led colleagues in sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor Acting Secretary Julie A. Su opposing a September proposed rule regarding farm workers in the H-2A program. “A streamlined H-2A program is critical for the agriculture industry, and many of our nation’s small farmers cannot keep up with these continuous rule and regulation changes,” Scott said. “The Biden Administration’s war on rural America and our farm families continues. The H-2A program is critical to American agriculture, and this proposed rule simply creates additional layers of bureaucracy to an already burdensome process. America’s farmers aren’t the problem; costly, complicated regulations written by career bureaucrats who have never stepped foot on a farm are,” said Glenn “GT” Thompson, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture, who signed the letter. Cosigners of the letter also included Representatives Rick Allen (GA-12), Jim Baird (IN-04), Kat Cammack (FL-03), Buddy Carter (GA-01), Scott Franklin (FL-18), Russell Fry (SC-07), Clay Higgins (LA-03), Ronny Jackson (TX-13), Dusty Johnson (SD), Rich McCormick (GA-06), John Moolenaar (MI-02), Barry Moore (AL-02), Dan Newhouse (WA-04), Ralph Norman (SC-05), Greg Pence (IN-06), John Rose (TN-06), David Rouzer (NC-07), Claudia Tenney (NY-24), David Valadao (CA-22), Tim Walberg (MI-05), Bruce Westerman (AR-04), and Rudy Yakym (IN-02). Rep. Austin Scott is currently the Vice Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. The full text of the letter can be found here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
