Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) chairs the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee. She was first elected to Congress from Connecticut’s Third District in 1990, and is currently serving her ninth term. Congresswoman DeLauro also sits on the influential House Budget Committee. DeLauro has worked to provide funding for a safe food supply, a healthy agricultural economy, and for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate thousands of products we use everyday. She has made reform of the FDA a top priority to strengthen oversight of food and drugs. With rising instances of food safety and food-borne illness a concern for many Americans, DeLauro co-founded the Congressional Food Safety Caucus to explore remedies to secure the food supply.
