Today, Congressmen John Joyce and Don Davis announced the formation of the Congressional Baking Caucus. This bipartisan group aims to address challenges within the American baking industry.

In addition to launching the caucus, they introduced a resolution to designate November as National Bread Month. Congressman Joyce emphasized Pennsylvania's significant role in commercial baking, stating, "Commercial baking has a major role to play for our nation’s agricultural industry, working with our farmers and creating jobs that empower American workers while producing the food that feeds our families."

Congressman Davis highlighted bread's cultural importance: "Bread is at the heart of American tradition, and many enjoy it daily." He noted the industry's contribution to both North Carolina's economy and the broader U.S. economy.

Joyce also spoke in the House of Representatives about supporting the industry's workforce and removing growth barriers for bakers nationwide.
