Bipartisanship and Agriculture: A Conversation with Representatives Dusty Johnson and Abigail Spanberger on the National Corn Growers Association Podcast

Published | Video Starts at 06:26

They understand that Politics is the art of the possible and that it needs to be about addition and multiplication rather than about subtraction and division. And in that way, I'm honored to represent them. I think with Abigail and Dusty, this Dusty may be the other Dusty, too. (06:26–06:35)
