Congressional Democrats have proposed ambitious bills with historic expansions of the social safety net and long-sought new programs. But many politically vulnerable Democrats are selling them at home as a chance to deliver the goods for their districts.

Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota has taken a similar tack.

Republicans argue that the size of the spending bill will turn off rural voters in key districts, not attract support.

“It impacts the price of soybeans by more than a dollar a bushel. That’s a lot of money,” said Monte Shaw, executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association and a past Republican candidate for Congress. “For ethanol you’re looking at an extra $400 to $500 million for farmers in Iowa, because the price of corn is higher.”
