US Representative Rodney Davis says he plans to keep his seat on the US House Agriculture Committee. The Taylorville Republican addressed Illinois farmers participating in the Illinois Farm Bureau's annual meeting taking place in Chicago.



Davis told farmers he's "excited" about having one political party in control of the White House, the US House and Senate. He told farmers if a balanced budget depended on bargaining congressional office and committee moves underway, it would actually happen. In his words, "everyone's angling for something" as part of the transition from the current administration and Congress to the new ones that will officially take place in January.
