Last week, Bobby Aviña of Vintage Crop Insurance had the privilege of joining the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) in Sacramento for the 2026 Advocacy Day. Throughout the day, the group met with senators, assemblymembers, and legislative staffers to discuss three key pieces of legislation impacting the wine industry: AB-1585, SB-921, and SB-917. Bobby is grateful for the opportunity to advocate for our farmers, who are the backbone of this country. We also extend our sincere gratitude to CAWG for their continued leadership and support of California’s winegrape growers. We look forward to continuing these important conversations and supporting the future of California agriculture.

House and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairmen Endorse Tom Sell for Texas 19 on National Agriculture Day

House Agriculture Committee Chairman, Congressman Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-PA), and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman, Senator John Boozman (R-AR) today announced their strong support and endorsements for Tom Sell to serve as the next Congressman for Texas’ 19th District.

Chairman Thompson stated, "I’m proud to endorse Tom Sell for Texas’ 19th District. As an America First Conservative and proud 5th generation West Texan, Tom has been a true champion for America’s farmers and ranchers his entire career. I’m proud to endorse Tom Sell because I know he will bring that same West Texas grit, know-how, and expertise to Congress as we work to support our farmers and ranchers, grow our energy sector, secure the border, lower costs, and make America truly great again.”

Chairman Boozman stated, “On National Ag Day, I’m proud to support my friend Tom Sell for Congress. Tom is a rock-solid conservative who will stand up for West Texas and be a champion for our farmers and ranchers. We need his voice and common sense values in Washington.”

In response to the Chairmen’s endorsements, Tom Sell stated, “Hats off on this National Ag Day to the hardworking men and women across West Texas and this entire nation who keep our country, and the world, fed, fueled, and clothed. I’m so honored to have the support of Chairman Thompson and Chairman Boozman - two of the strongest conservative leaders I know fighting for agriculture day in and day out. I’m proud to have fought for West Texas farm and ranch families my entire career, and I’m grateful to have the support of so many farmers, ranchers, and grassroots agriculture organizations across the 19th District. I am ready to continue fighting for you in Washington. We pray for a bountiful ‘26 crop. God bless our farmers! God bless America!”
