Kansas and Iowa GOP Primary Voters Would Be More Likely to Support a Legislator Who Votes to Protect American Agricultural Manufacturers

Governor Greg Abbott (TX) calls for state audits of medtech devices connected to the CCP

This week, the House Agriculture Committee voted 34-17 to advance the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, also known as the Farm Bill 2.0. Seven Democrats joined with Republicans to move the bill forward. 

Campaign will run statewide in Iowa and Kansas to support legislation to advance President Trump’s agenda to secure America’s food supply

“Sunlight” Praises Uthmeier for Cracking Down on Illicit Chinese Vapes and CCP-Linked Medical Device Companies.

We know for a fact that China’s communist government in Beijing is trying to manipulate and influence America’s domestic food production and steal from U.S. consumers. Fortunately, President Trump took action this week to secure and protect America’s food supply. Meanwhile, states like Florida are stepping up to prevent foreign attacks. 

Florida AG Uthmeier is demanding audits from Mindray North America, United Imaging, MicroPort, and other Chinese medtech companies over ties to the CCP.

“Long Enough” is backed by a six-figure buy and will run on TV and digital in Washington, DC.

American farm policy is national security policy. Now more than ever, the U.S. needs a thriving agricultural base to feed our citizens without depending on other countries. Exports of American farm products are also key to helping stop the influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) around the world. 

“Deliver Relief” will run on TV in the Pittsburgh and Johnstown markets.

The Protecting America Initiative (PAI) has pointed out many times that food security is national security. Without proactive policies in place to secure America’s food supply chain, our country will always be vulnerable to foreign threats. That is why PAI is calling on both parties in Congress to act without delay to pass a new “Farm Bill” in Congress. 

On December 30, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced movement on a key plank of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Farm Security Action Plan, which was unveiled earlier last year as a multi-agency effort to protect American agriculture, a critical part of maintaining national security.

It has been almost two years since the U.S. passed updated agency budgets. The current spending plans used by the Departments of State and Defense were drafted in 2023. During that period of time, China’s centralized government has been able to make dramatic changes to its pursuit of world dominance. 

New spot will air on digital platforms in select markets across the country with an emphasis on Florida and Texas.

As the Protecting America Initiative has argued before, when individual states impose a patchwork of laws that force agricultural suppliers to meet requirements that contradict federal standards, they undermine farmers and agricultural manufacturers, leaving them vulnerable to competitors from adversarial nations like China. The disruption caused by these extreme state laws undermine a robust domestic food supply and ultimately our national security. 

79% would be more likely to support a candidate who cracks down on Chinese medical companies operating in the U.S.

Echoing concerns seen across the country, Texans are alarmed by the growing reliance on Chinese medical devices and medical technology. Polling from the Protecting America Initiative found likely general election voters in Texas believe the U.S. is overly reliant on Chinese-made medical devices and medical technology manufacturing, are chiefly concerned about patient data privacy, and support tougher government action to reduce that dependence.

On his recently concluded trip through Asia, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth met with counterparts in Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, and South Korea about the mounting threat from China and to “ensure that China understands that we have a credible deterrent.” During the trip, while on his way to a meeting of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) defense ministers, the Secretary emphasized that China will remain a key focus of the upcoming National Defense Strategy. 2022’s National Defense Strategy had warned that China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) “is rapidly advancing and integrating its space, counterspace, cyber, electronic, and informational warfare capabilities to support its holistic approach to joint warfare.”  

The Protecting America Initiative has outlined dozens of ways that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Beijing seeks to influence and shape life in the United States. The common feature of these efforts is increasing the CCP’s power in the U.S. and around the world.  

The Protecting America Initiative, a conservative nonprofit organization focused on safeguarding the nation from Communist China’s growing influence, released new polling today that found Floridians strongly support lawmakers who address the dependence the U.S. has on Chinese-made medical devices. These voters are overwhelmingly concerned about data privacy risks associated with U.S. hospitals using medical technologies from Chinese companies.
