TAKING ACTION FOR OUR MEMBERS
Our priority is to protect our members' best interests. We ensure our members' voices are heard at both the state and federal levels. Advocacy is a key component of our government affairs work. We carefully monitor, track and advocate for or against legislative or regulatory proposals that can affect the nation's and the states' agricultural interests. Our team covers all aspects including letter writing, phone calling campaigns as well as trips to Sacramento and Washington, D.C.
ADVOCACY UPDATE: 2025-26 ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS
The California Assembly Committee Assignments have been announced, and we wanted to share some key updates:
- Agriculture Committee: Membership has been reduced from 10 to 8 members.
- Budget Committee: Membership has increased from 27 to 33 members.
We are pleased to report that we maintain strong relationships with members on both of these critical committees, ensuring our continued ability to advocate effectively on behalf of our industry. For detailed updates, review the document below.
ISSUES
HEALTH
We advocate for legislation that improves access to quality healthcare and patient outcomes for our members.
LABOR
We partner with lawmakers and our industry stakeholders to advocate for labor reform and ensure a reliable ag workforce.
IMMIGRATION
We work with legislators and members of the industry to help build a legal and reliable workforce for agriculture.
WATER
We advocate for policies that improve water supply reliability and promote better water policy and management.
Consider making a donation to UnitedAg's state (AgPAC) and federal (UnitedAgPAC) political action committees. Our PACs work to elect pro-agriculture candidates to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, allowing legislators to support our industry.
