Rubio Campaign Press Release - Marcomentum: Iowa Agriculture Leaders Pledge Support to Marco Rubio

January 9, 2015

On Friday, Marco's campaign released a growing group of Iowa agriculture leaders supporting Marco's vision for a New American Century.

Iowa state senator Dan Zumbach had this to say:

Marco Rubio is the next generation leader America needs in the White House. As president, Marco Rubio will help Iowa farmers by rolling back job-killing EPA overreach. He knows outdated Washington red tape harms our economy and has a plan to empower farmers, not unelected bureaucrats.

Gage Kent, Chairman and CEO, Kent Corporation said Marco knows agriculture issues well:

I support Marco Rubio for president because he has a deep understanding of the issues facing agriculture in the 21st century and how Washington's burdensome regulations impact Iowa agriculture. Marco Rubio's pro-growth, pro-family tax reform allows Iowans to  invest and grow their businesses, not turn them over to the government.

Grant Kimberly, of the Iowa Biodiesel Board, said this about Marco:

As president, Marco Rubio will be a consistent defender of Iowa farmers and agriculture. Unlike other candidates, Marco Rubio will not change his position based on what audience he is talking to, what state he is in, or which way the polling is swinging. It is important to have a principled, conservative president who supports farming and that's why I am for Marco Rubio.
