USDA will work to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever via a robust expansion and coordination of monitoring, surveillance, prevention, quarantine, and eradication activities to prevent the disease from getting on the U.S. mainland.

Last week, I helped lead a letter with my colleagues on

@HouseAgDems

@SecVilsack

, encouraging the USDA to urgently use every available resource to address ASF prevention — and I’m glad

@USDA

My bill to increase the number of inspectors for ASF prevention was signed into law last year, but the recent outbreak in the Dominican Republic poses a serious threat. I'll continue to do all that I can to protect Iowa's hog producers. #IA03 axne.house.gov/media/press-re
