(La Porte County, IN) - 2nd District Congressman Rudy Yakym continued his "Factories, Freeways, and Fields" tour Friday with a stop in La Porte County.
After visiting a blueberry farm in North Judson, Yakym met with Indiana Farm Bureau members at Parker Farms on SR 4. Farmer Harold Parker recently stepped down as Indiana Farm Bureau District 1 Director. His farm raises tomatoes for Red Gold, along with corn and soybeans.
On his tour this summer, Yakym says he’s listening to local workers and bringing a message of smaller government. “When I travel around and listen to Hoosiers and what’s on their minds, that’s really what this tour is all about,” he said. “We want to get the federal government out of the way and let the American worker show up and go to work every day and make this country work.”
Throughout August, Yakym’s agenda has included 75 locations throughout all 11 counties in Indiana’s Second Congressional District. His destinations highlight manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation and infrastructure projects in the area.
Earlier this month he visited La Porte businesses Jaeger Unitech Sealing Solutions and Howmet Aerospace.
