The National Potato Council’s annual Washington Summit, to be held February 27-March 3, 2023, in Washington, D.C., provides a forum for potato industry members to discuss, define, and advocate for the policy priorities impacting their businesses and protecting their ability to farm. Throughout the week, participants:

• Hear from the nation’s top political and policy experts

• Welcome NPC’s new officers and grower leaders

• Meet with members of Congress representing potato-growing states and districts

• Unite as an industry in “Standing Up for Potatoes on Capitol Hill!”

On Wednesday, March 1, Charlie Cook, editor and publisher of The Cook Political Report and a columnist for the National Journal, will provide a political outlook for Washington Summit attendees.

During the 2023 NPC Washington Summit, attendees will advocate for issues such as keeping potatoes in federal nutrition programs, promoting free and fair-trade agreements, and protecting tax policies that support the long-term health of family-owned farming operations.
