WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD-TV) — Tom Sell, a familiar voice in agricultural policy, returns to Congress
Republican Tom Sell has won Texas’ 19th Congressional District, succeeding retiring House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington.
Sell's background includes working with former House Agriculture Committee Chairman Larry Combest on the 2002 Farm Bill and decades of advocacy for farmers and ranchers.
"When you talk about the tunnels through the Capitol, there’s true tunnels. Knowing the pathway to get from point A to point B. That’s true physically. That’s also true in kind of a more symbolic sense of how do you get from point A to point B in the legislative process and accomplish goals successfully? I think we’re well set up on both. ... For the sake of our nation, we’ve got to have a Washington, D.C. that is working together better to actually address, identify and then address our nation’s problems."
Sell is expected to join the House Agriculture Committee when the new Congress convenes in January.
