WASHINGTON - Following House passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R.7567), commonly referred to as the Farm Bill, Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) released the following statement:
"Food security is national security, and the Farm Bill is one of the most consequential pieces of legislation Congress works on because it determines how we put food on America's dinner tables," said Rep. Costa."After three years of delays, I'm glad the House has finally made substantive progress but there is still more work to do. We must ensure the provisions that support American families, farmers, and producers remain while continuing to improve this bill in the Senate. I will keep working across the aisle to reverse harmful cuts to nutrition programs because in the richest country in the world, children, veterans, seniors, and working families should never be left wondering how they will put food on the table."
