WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued a statement today praising the announcement from Attorneys General Mike Hilgers of Nebraska and Brenna Bird of Iowa. The states are leading a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the regulation of commonly-used pesticides.

“California’s glyphosate labeling mandate is anti-science and anti-agriculture,” Ricketts said. “Far-left bureaucrats in one state shouldn’t be able to force their radical agenda on another state like Nebraska. I thank Attorneys General Hilgers and Bird for their leadership on this issue. The EPA should embrace the petition and adopt science-based, nationwide pesticide standards.”
