Happy to attend today’s event in Berea to celebrate AppHarvest’s second greenhouse in Madison County. AppHarvest is an innovative agribusiness and because of its strategic location can reach 70% of Americans in just a days drive.

AppHarvest’s strategic location cuts down on transportation costs, will provide a reliable food source and is great for the environment. Excited for the future of AppHarvest in our district.

In Congress, I have always fought to ensure the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens are protected. Recently, I sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to reverse rules preventing third-party processors from assisting Americans with filling out National Firearms Act (NFA) e-forms.

NFA forms can be complex and difficult to navigate. Third-party processors should be able to help gun owners comply with the law by allowing having the ability to assist them with NFA e-forms, just as they have for years with the paper form. I am hopeful that the ATF will remove this bureaucratic hurdle for gun owners soon.
