Submitted by the Office of Rep. Delgado
U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado has been selected to serve as the Chairman of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Commodity Exchanges, Energy, and Credit (CEEC). The CEEC Subcommittee oversees all policies relating to commodity exchanges, agricultural credit, rural development, energy, and rural electrification.
“The CEEC Subcommittee focuses on the issues that matter most to communities throughout my rural district — broadband expansion, infrastructure revitalization, renewable energy production, and rural economic development and loan programs,” said Rep. Antonio Delgado. “I am honored to serve as the Chairman of CEEC and look forward to advocating for farmers and producers in NY-19 and across the United States. This Subcommittee is the first legislative step to delivering solutions and support that transform the lives and livelihoods of our rural communities — I’m ready to get to work.”
“After chairing the CEEC Subcommittee myself for many years, I am more than happy to see the Chairmanship go into the capable hands of Congressman Antonio Delgado,” said Chairman David Scott. “He has proven that the issues of this Subcommittee are of the utmost importance to him and I look forward to his leadership in the 117th Congress.”
