"Agriculture is vital to the economy in the State of Mississippi, and I am proud to have the opportunity to represent the First District on the House Committee on Agriculture," said Congressman Kelly. "I look forward to being a voice for Mississippi on the Livestock and Foreign Agriculture, and the Commodity Exchanges, Energy, and Credit Subcommittees to promote policies that encourage rural development and allow the agriculture industry to grow.
