Sixth District Perspectives with Congressman Ben Cline – October 5, 2019

During this week’s District Work Period, I have had the opportunity to travel throughout Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District to meet and listen to constituents across our region. My visits have taken me from Timberville to Roanoke and everywhere in between.

Sixth District Farm Tour:
This week, I participated in a Sixth District Farm Tour where I met with dozens of local farmers to discuss the issues that matter most to them. Many expressed their support for the new USMCA trade agreement, which would benefit their farms, particularly those operating in Virginia’s largest agricultural export industries: beef, poultry, and dairy. The USMCA is a 21st-century agreement that opens markets, reduces trade barriers, and will result in 176,000 new jobs.

District Travels:
In addition to visiting our District’s local farms, I made a number of other stops throughout the Valley this week as well. I attended the ribbon cutting of the Chaplick Center at The Glebe in Daleville, which will provide unique care to our seniors dealing with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Additionally, I toured the Manheim Auto Auction in Harrisonburg, which employs 90 people and provides an important resource for auto dealers across our region. I also spoke at the Rural America Conference held at JMU, where we discussed economic development opportunities for our rural communities.

Joint Bedford Town Hall with Rep. Riggleman:
I invite residents of Bedford County to join me for a joint town hall with Congressman Denver Riggleman (VA-05) next Wednesday in Bedford, VA. For more information and registration details, please follow the link.
