McBath's office said she continued leading Georgia Democratic delegation efforts urging Governor Brian Kemp to allow Georgia children to participate in USDA Summer EBT in 2026. The statement says this was the third consecutive year Georgia refused participation and that Kemp had not replied to prior congressional letters.
Assessments
McBath took direct same-term action toward the promise by leading Georgia Democratic delegation advocacy urging Gov. Kemp to opt into Summer EBT and by original-cosponsoring federal legislation related to SNAP and Summer EBT administrative costs. However, Georgia still had not participated in Summer EBT, and the cited bill remained only introduced and referred to committee, so the promised outcome was not fully delivered.
