Washington, DC – Today, Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13) and Congressman Don Davis (NC-01) launched the Congressional Baking Caucus, a bipartisan organization dedicated to addressing the issues that face the American baking industry.

Further, the congressmen introduced a resolution to name November as National Bread Month; the text of the resolution can be found here.

“Pennsylvania is home to the bakeries that stock store shelves and fill kitchens across our country. Commercial baking has a major role to play for our nation’s agricultural industry, working with our farmers and creating jobs that empower American workers while producing the food that feeds our families. I’m proud to co-chair the Congressional Baking Caucus alongside Congressman Davis and together introduce a resolution recognizing November as National Bread Month. It’s critical that we build support both in Washington and across the country for this vital industry,” said Congressman Joyce.

““Bread is at the heart of American tradition, and many enjoy it daily. The commercial baking industry plays a vital role in ensuring we have access to affordable, nutritious grain foods while contributing to the strength of eastern North Carolina and the U.S. economy. As we celebrate National Bread Month, the Congressional Baking Caucus stands firmly behind this crucial industry while building on our shared traditions,” said Congressman Davis.

Congressman Joyce gave a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, highlighting the important work that the caucus can do to support the industry’s workforce while removing barriers to growth, and American bakers for years to come. Watch his remarks here.
