Brett CrossleyWilliamsport, Pa. — Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) spent Tuesday focused on two hallmarks of Pennsylvanian life — agriculture and the Little League World Series.
In the afternoon, Meuser joined community members and local leaders at The Farm Store in Pottsville for an event hosted by Americans for Prosperity and the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau.
The gathering highlighted provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill and their potential to strengthen the state’s agricultural sector, bolster small businesses, and increase Pennsylvanians’ access to fresh, local food, according to Meuser.

Laura Ulrich“It was great people and a great atmosphere,” Meuser said as he prepared to walk on West Fourth Street. “We talked about all the advantages that the farming community will now have because of the (OBBB) — new crop insurance plans, help with droughts and floods, and some important business initiatives.”
The bill’s provisions aim to expand opportunities for farm-to-family operations, which Meuser described as delivering “very healthy, quality products in a much more affordable way” to rural communities.
The Pottsville event also featured gift cards for the first 100 visitors and brought together state and county officials, including Sen. Dave Argall, Reps. Joanne Stehr and Tim Twardzick, and Schuylkill County Commissioner Larry Padora.
Just hours later, Meuser traded the farm store for the festive streets of Williamsport, where he participated in the Little League parade for the sixth time since being elected to Congress.
“They wouldn’t let me walk when I was a candidate,” Meuser joked. “It’s fantastic — everybody’s having a good time.”
With a Pennsylvania team in the mix and the Taiwanese team returning, Meuser said he looked forward to meeting with the Taiwanese ambassador, a connection he credits to the Little League World Series.
Last year, Mueser smoked cigars with with Ambassador Tom Lee, the Director-General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York and Head of the UN Affairs Task Force, who was in town for the Little League World Series.
