Delegation for 12.14.18 — Insights from the Beltway to the Sunshine State

Veterinarian group salutes Yoho:

The American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) has three favorite members of the House of Representatives. That is because they are the three veterinarians serving in Congress.

The AVMF saluted all three for winning re-election last month. One of those is Republican Rep. Ted Yoho of Gainesville.

Yoho, a 1983 graduate of the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, was a large animal veterinarian before his election to Congress in 2012. His fellow vets are Louisiana Republican Dr. Ralph Abraham and Oregon Democrat Dr. Kurt Schrader.

Along with his duties on the House Agriculture Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee, Yoho serves as co-chair, along with Schrader, of the House Veterinary Medicine Caucus. Abraham is also one of the 37 members making up the caucus.
