Shuster praised for his hard work
While the familiar politics of a busy and divisive presidential campaign takes center stage, it’s easy to overlook the work of our trusted conservative Congressman Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg.
Shuster works hard on our behalf rather than seeking the spotlight and has gone to the mat for us on farming issues, taxes, spending, pro-family issues and jobs and economic issues.
Specific to farming, Shuster authored legislation stopping Obama’s overreach through the Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) Rule, which attacks thousands of landowners in our area. Obama plans to use his EPA to federally regulate waterways such as temporary streams, ditches and even dry land that is only occasionally wet. Acres and acres of good farmland could be lost under this rule.
Shuster grew up on his family’s farm in Bedford County, and now he’s there for us in Washington to stop Obama’s overreach, the same way he gets other major reforms done for us in transportation, spending and protecting our Second Amendment rights.
He’s a past recipient of the “Friends of the Farm Bureau” award for his support of agriculture and support for our way of life.
The results of Congressman Shuster’s hard work are all around us. Take a minute during the busy campaign season to thank him for his dedication to public service.
