From YCC to the Georgia State House with State Rep. David Huddleston

About this episode

Georgia State Representative David Huddleston shares his journey from a cattle farmer to a political advocate for the cattle industry.

On this episode, we are joined by Georgia State Representative David Huddleston. Rep. Huddleston is a fifth-generation farmer from Carrollton and runs a cow-calf operation alongside his family. Before being elected to office, Huddleston participated in NCBA’s Young Cattlemen’s Conference (YCC) where he came to Washington, D.C. to advocate for the cattle industry. That experience encouraged Huddleston to step up and run for public office to be an even strong voice for cattle farmers and ranchers. Today, Rep. Huddleston is the Secretary of the Georgia House Committee on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs and serves on the Georgia House Committees on Energy, Utilities, and Telecommunications; Interstate Cooperation; Natural Resources and Environment; and the Special Committee on Resource Management. Huddleston shares his story about standing up to be an advocate for the cattle industry.
