Statement by National Cattlemen's Beef Association President Tracy Brunner following the 2016 national election:
"Although it is still too early to determine what exactly this election will mean for our priorities, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association remains committed to expanding access to foreign markets, fighting burdensome federal regulations and ensuring the continued health of our herd and industry. I am proud to see that across the nation, the majority of candidates and incumbents we, and our state affiliates supported through the NCBA Political Action Committee, were elected or re-elected.
"In the coming weeks, we will continue to work with Congress to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership, defund EPA's flawed "waters of the United States" rule, and pass the National Defense Authorization Act which includes language to mitigate the sage grouse stubble height requirements and other restrictions on grazing based on flawed science. In the year ahead, we look forward to working with a new Congress and Administration to ensure the priorities of cattlemen and women nationwide are met."
