This week on the EcoRight Speaks… Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (D-IL-13), congressional lead for the Thriving Economy Project’s work on 21st century agricultural policy, speaks to us about cooperatively building a robust agricultural sector.
The Thriving Economy Project, a coalition of members of Congress, former senior congressional aides, officials from multiple presidential administrations, and leading energy and environmental policy experts are collaborating on a new policy blueprint aimed at strengthening economic competitiveness, creating jobs, and delivering affordable and reliable energy for American families and businesses. A September 2026 report will outline a blueprint to build a thriving economy for all Americans.
Rep. Budizinski is leading the recommendations that will help farmers have stable, diversified income streams; drive innovation and adaptation; and make farming more sustainable, more lucrative, and healthier for all. She brings a wealth of experiences both in her district, which features a strong agricultural constituency, and her work protecting workers and strengthening the middle class.
That conversation is below!
