Introductory Statement on S. 5301

Senator Padilla introduced the Voice for Farm Workers Act, a bill to strengthen and expand the Farmworker Coordinator position at the Department of Agriculture, which Congress created in the 2008 farm bill to connect farmworkers with the department but which he said was never given enough support. He said farmworkers are central to the nation’s food supply and the bill would help the government better hear and assist them.
