## Summary

**Protecting American livestock producers** would be the central aim of this nonbinding House resolution. It would signal support for animal agriculture, push back against state and local rules labeled overburdensome, and promote access to animal-sourced nutrition. - Farmers and ranchers would get a clear political endorsement. The resolution highlights about 1 million livestock producers and that 97 percent of U.S. farms are family-run. - Families and vulnerable populations would be singled out for expanded access to animal products that the resolution says provide critical nutrients for mothers, infants, and seniors. - Consumers and workers would see a push against government mandates the resolution calls driven by "woke ideologies," and it would urge suspending regulatory mandates it says raise food costs or harm livestock workers. - Rural communities and national food security would be emphasized, with the resolution arguing animal agriculture supports local economies, reduces reliance on foreign food, and can aid ecosystem health through managed grazing.
