I voted No on the Farm Bill. At a time when nearly one in five families in our state are struggling to afford food, this Farm Bill does nothing to address the deep cuts to SNAP enacted last year—the largest reduction to the program in its history.

Moulton opposes the Farm Bill because it fails to address SNAP cuts and protect food assistance for struggling families.

The bill is titled "To appropriate funds to ensure uninterrupted benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program and the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children." The text says the bill would provide appropriations "to provide uninterrupted benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program" and notes it was "Introduced in House" and referred to committee.

This official bill text shows a concrete effort to protect SNAP and WIC funding, but it was only introduced and not enacted.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promise was to protect food assistance so families would not have to choose between rent and food. The evidence shows Seth Moulton actively advocated for that goal and backed concrete legislation, including support for H.R. 5950 to provide uninterrupted SNAP and WIC benefits. But the official congressional evidence also shows that bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or completed policy outcome attributable to him. Under a federal office standard, this is a serious legislative effort without delivery of the promised result, so it does not count as fulfilled.

never same_term A for effort

Moulton made a concrete effort to protect food assistance by cosponsoring H.R. 5950, the Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025, and publicly advocating against SNAP funding lapses. However, the evidence shows the bill was introduced and referred to committee, not enacted, so the promised protection was not delivered as an actual policy outcome. Because there was a serious legislative and advocacy effort that failed to achieve enactment, the correct outcome is never with an effort badge.
