Hinson: E15 is a Market, Not a Mandate

Image May 13, 2026 Press Release Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) spoke on the House Floor today in support of the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, bipartisan legislation to allow the permanent, nationwide sale of year-round E15. The bill passed the House with a vote tally of 218-203. — Excerpt of Remarks As Delivered — "If you ate today, thank a farmer. If you got dressed today, thank a farmer. And if you put gas in your car, thank a farmer. "This is a challenging time for our ag economy, and we should be using every tool available to support farmers and rural communities. This bill does just that, driving new demand for American ag products and boosting farm income by $13.8 billion. "Year-round E15 would lower costs across the board for working families across the country, saving drivers up to 30 cents per gallon, and reducing prices across the supply chain. After years of uncertainty, it’s time for Congress to step up and provide a permanent solution – this is something I’ve been pushing for years. [E15] is not a mandate, it’s a market.” Watch Rep. Hinson’s full remarks on the House Floor HERE . ###
