United Fresh welcomes the 117th Congress, sworn in on Sunday, January 3, 2021 to Washington, D.C. This new congress, which includes 67 freshman members of the House and Senate, will drive the country’s legislative agenda for the next two years.
This past year, members of the House and Senate have virtually met with the fresh produce industry to learn of our priority issues and understand the impact of our businesses in their communities.
“We hosted more than 60 congressional meetings last September during our Annual Washington Conference,” said Robert Guenther, senior vice-president of public policy, United Fresh Produce Association. “Both Members of Congress and United Fresh members found the interactions to be productive, so what better way to continue to engage and welcome the new class of the 117th Congress.”
United Fresh will host the “Fresh Faces of the 117th Congress Meet and Greet Series” over the next three months, hosting virtual meetings with new members of Congress. Meetings will be open to all United Fresh members, allowing companies to gain a broader understanding of the makeup of the 117th Congress, regardless of geographic location.
This series is exclusive for United Fresh members only. For questions, contact Angela Tiwari, director of grassroots and political action at atiwari@unitedfresh.org.
