Congress is expected to make another attempt to elect a Speaker Tuesday. Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan is the Republican nominee for the job, but may not have the 217 votes needed to take over the gavel. According to Agri-Pulse, House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson spoke with Jordan about the farm bill and was given a commitment to follow the direction of the Republican Caucus on this legislation. Personally, Jordan has voted against the last three farm bills.
