Moderate US House Dem group questions USDA’s Rollins over screwworm response

A group of moderate Democrats in the U.S. House, led by Reps. Sharice Davids, Gabe Vasquez, and Jim Costa, has pressed the U.S. Department of Agriculture for more information on the recent screwworm outbreak and called for increased federal resources to manage it. The screwworm, a parasitic fly affecting livestock, has raised concerns over its economic impact on agriculture. This push highlights the urgency of addressing agricultural pests and underscores the group’s commitment to supporting farmers amid such challenges.
