Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA) will keynote Tuesday morning’s Opening General Session Breakfast, September 17, during this year’s annual United Fresh Washington Conference.
First elected to Congress in 1996, Rep. McGovern now serves as Chairman of the House Rules Committee. McGovern founded the Food as Medicine Working Group in 2018 within the Congressional Hunger Caucus, and is a senior member of the House Committee on Agriculture’s Subcommittee on Nutrition and Oversight. He also is a member of the Specialty Crops Caucus.
“As we gather our industry in D.C. to share our critical message on the importance of ensuring families and children have access to the fresh produce we supply, I can think of no more fitting advocate to keynote our kick-off breakfast,” said United Fresh’s Senior Vice President of Public Policy Robert Guenther. “Congressman McGovern is a fearless leader, fighting at every turn for strong school meal programs and access to nutritious foods for everyone.”
