interview WITH:
Rep. Steve King
Representative Steve King
Congressman Steve King is an outspoken conservative member of the House Agriculture Committee. In this week's Open Mic, the Iowa Republican shares his observations about the farm bill that the committee wrote last week. King put through an egg amendment that may keep states from imposing standards that restrict commerce with other states. He also wants to cut the cost of SNAP and reduce other expenditures as well. King, who is in line to be chairman when the next farm bill comes up in 2018, also discusses how committee membership has changed.
