LOCAL RESIDENT FUMES: Common Sense Vanishes as Tom Kean Absent Washington During Critical Farm Bill Vote

Let me get this straight—we send Tom Kean to Washington to represent us, but when the Farm Bill vote that directly impacts our local dairy farmers and summer produce stands comes up last Thursday, he’s nowhere to be found? I’m just a guy who pays taxes and shops at the farmers market, but even I know you can’t fix a broken fence if you’re not in the field. Tom Kean absent Washington means our district had zero voice on crop insurance subsidies while he was allegedly “meeting with donors.” My neighbor Ed lost his hay field to flooding last month—common sense says you show up to vote first, glad-hand later. Share if you’re tired of representing the empty chair.
