Agriculture
Congressman Gonzalez is proud to represent a thriving agricultural community. The 34th District of Texas is home to the King Ranch and a diverse array of produce, specialty crops, and livestock operations. The district is known for its citrus, cotton, sugarcane, sorghum, and cattle ranching operations.
Congressman Gonzalez has a proven record of supporting agricultural research, trade assistance, and robust crop insurance and disaster assistance programs that offer farmers and ranchers the resources to succeed.
He understands the importance of protecting and improving farmers and ranchers' safety net systems and is dedicated to elevating the concerns and priorities of South Texas agriculture producers in Washington, D.C. Congressman Gonzalez supports increasing market access for all American agricultural products and efforts to strengthen our food supply chain and economy while providing regulatory certainty to agriculture producers.
Since being elected to Congress in 2016, Congressman Gonzalez has shepherded over $156 million in funding for our South Texas agricultural industry.
