In week, Boozman a C-SPAN darling

U.S. Sen. John Boozman appeared on C-SPAN and its sister stations repeatedly last week.

On Tuesday, the Republican from Rogers was interviewed about budget priorities.

On Wednesday, the cameras caught him twice — asking questions in the morning at a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing on water infrastructure and delivering a speech in the U.S. Senate in the afternoon.

Addressing his colleagues, Boozman emphasized the importance of agriculture to Arkansas’ economy and highlighted the effects of tax cuts recently signed into law by President Donald Trump.

“We are the top rice-producing state in the nation; No. 2 in the nation in broiler chickens and the third-largest producer of catfish in the United States. We could also clothe and shelter ourselves from the fiber grown in Arkansas as we are third in the nation in cotton production and the fifth-largest soft wood lumber-producing state,” Boozman said.

The lawmaker praised Trump for providing “much-needed tax relief to America’s farmers” and predicted the tax changes will have “lasting positive effects for our economy.”
