Assessments
Carbajal sponsored H. Res. 1459 in the 119th Congress to support designating July 2026 as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month. The official status located shows only introduction and referral to the House Agriculture Committee on July 27, 2026, with no House agreement or other final federal adoption. Because the promised official recognition was not delivered, but he made a concrete legislative attempt during the same federal term, this is a failed effort rather than fulfillment.
