With the new 119th Congress underway, the new Senate Majority Leader John Thune listed his legislative priorities. “Extending the tax relief Republicans delivered during the first Trump administration; lifting burdensome and expensive government regulations to help American businesses and families flourish; bringing appropriations bills to the floor for serious deliberation so that we can make the best possible use of taxpayer dollars; an overdue farm bill to update farm programs for farmers and ranchers to reflect current agriculture needs.” In addition to serving as the majority leader, the South Dakota senator will remain on the Senate Agriculture Committee.
