Florida Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau Federation has recognized Rep. Kat Cammack (R.-Fla.) with the Outstanding New Member of Congress Award. This award is given to a member of Congress who has completed their first term and has shown they are a reliable friend to agriculture.

Smith. “Her service and passion for agriculture is demonstrated daily. Her practical approach to speaking up on the issues that farmers and ranchers face at the local to national level is commendable. As a member of Farm Bureau and the House Agriculture Committee, telling the stories of farmers and ranchers is personal to her. She is truly a voice for agriculture. We are fortunate to have Congresswoman Cammack as a friend.”
