U.S. Hemp Roundtable Advances Agenda With Congressional Leaders

U.S. Hemp Roundtable members met in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 22 with members of Congress, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, also attended a dinner with U.S. Hemp Roundtable members and lawmakers

Attendees said the Lobby Day meetings were fruitful, with a lively brainstorming session about potential legislative initiatives.
