Despite spending so much time in Iowa where folks are calling for USMCA Now, Dems on the debate stage last night—and likely again tonight—continue to ignore Iowans and are failing to enact the USMCA.

Chuck Grassley
Senator

USMCA is excellent for Iowans as a major ag/export state but some Democrats esp all those running 4 pres are in Iowa campaigning against it--Iowans shld ask them why they don't want 2help Iowa by supporting USMCA?

Ashley Hinson
State Representative

After struggling for years under flawed trade agreements, Iowa families shouldn’t have to wait a moment longer for their congressmen and women to signal support and take action.

Kim Reynolds
Governor

I am excited to hear news of this United States-Mexico-Canada agreement.“NAFTA has been good for agriculture, but a modernized agreement could provide better gains for Iowa farmers. Strengthening trade with Canada and Mexico provides more certainty to our Iowa farmers and the agribusinesses sector.

Today is a USMCA Call to Action Day. I am a strong supporter of the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal, and I want it brought to a vote and enacted. Speaker Pelosi shouldn’t be wasting time on a sham impeachment; she should focus the house’s efforts on passing a trade deal that amounts to a major win for America. I’ve written about the importance of the USMCA to Iowa, and I have linked my recent op-ed below.

Linda Upmeyer
State Representative

Iowa's largest trading partners are Canada and Mexico. That is why it is imperative for Congress to act and pass the #USMCANow. I appreciate the hard work and advocacy of @ChuckGrassley and @SenJoniErnst to get this done!

Adam Gregg
Lieutenant Governor

With the House returning to Washington this week, now is the time to pass the #USMCANow! Will you help support this win for Iowa farmers

Mike Naig
Secretary of Agriculture

Mexico and Canada are the top two trading partners for the United States. #USMCA allows our country to continue exporting goods to our neighbors. It's time for #USMCANow.

Paul Pate
Secretary of State

I have reached out to Iowa's U.S. senators and U.S. House representatives to encourage them to support the USMCA. This trade deal is vital to the future of Iowa farmers, businesses & families. #USMCANow

Kim Reynolds
Governor

Today, Congress is talking impeachment when they should be focused on ratifying #USMCA!
