Eleven Republican governors have joined together to ask Congress to overturn a California law that the governors say will disrupt the pork industry and hurt the nation’s food supply.

On June 13, the governors signed a letter (pdf) to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, urging Congress to protect the agricultural industry and reintroduce the Exposing Agricultural Trade Suppression Act, which would ban individual states from imposing regulations on agricultural production in other states.
