Rep. Craig Named 2025 James Beard Foundation Impact Honoree for Her Efforts to Support Farmers, Lower Costs for Americans

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representative Angie Craig was recently named a 2025 James Beard Foundation Impact Honoree for her efforts to harness the power of family farmers to lower food and fuel costs for everyday Americans. 

“It is an honor to be named as a 2025 James Beard Impact Awards Honoree,” Rep. Craig said. “From the farmers who grow the food to the chefs who bring their products to life, it takes a village to feed the world. As the granddaughter of a farm foreman and now the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, I am committed to supporting the farmers, producers and small business owners who power the food economy and will continue working to ensure that every American can put food on the table.”   

As Ranking Member of the House Committee on Agriculture, Rep. Craig has been a champion for America’s family farmers, producers and rural communities. 

She was particularly recognized for her efforts to pass the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act – legislation that would invest in the agricultural economy in order to lower costs for Americans. This legislation included two of her bills: the Strengthening the Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Act, which would create a task force dedicated to shoring up the agriculture and food supply chains, and the Year-Round Fuel Choice Act, which would allow for the year-round sale of E15 – a cheaper biofuel alternative.
