President-elect Donald Trump wants one large bill covering taxes, border security, the debt ceiling, energy policy and more. The filibuster rules are bypassed by using the budget reconciliation process and it can pass with a simple majority. North Dakota Representative Julie Fedorchak favors that move. “I support President Trump’s approach on the ‘one big beautiful bill’ and the leaders in the House are very strong in supporting that as well,” Fedorchak told RRFN. “The House leadership, Senate leadership and White House future leadership are working very closely every hour, quite honestly, on what those packages are going to look like.” Fedorchak is the first freshman member of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee in 14 years. While she is not a member of the agriculture committee, Fedorchak emphasized she works closely with other farm-state lawmakers. To stay on top of agriculture issues, Fedorchak has also established a farmer and rancher ‘cabinet.’ The interview with Fedorchak can be found online.
