Evidence
Today, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) and the House of Representatives passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, this year’s Farm Bill, by a bipartisan vote of 224-200. The package included Rep. Bresnahan’s bipartisan legislation, the Local Farmers Feeding our Communities Act, which will help build stronger connections between local producers and community food programs, expanding markets and improving access to healthy food for those in need.
The House passed H.R. 7567, to provide for the reform and continuation of agricultural and other programs of the Department of Agriculture through fiscal year 2031, by a yea-and-nay vote of 224 yeas to 200 nays, Roll No. 154. Bresnahan appears in the yeas list for Roll No. 154.
Today, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) announce his office submitted 20 Community Project Funding requests to the House Committee on Appropriations in advance of Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations process. The total requested amount is over $59 Million in federal funding. "I came to Congress to make sure the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania see their tax dollars put to work right here at home," said Rep. Bresnahan. "These Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations requests are about investing in our communities, strengthening public safety, improving infrastructure, and supporting local jobs."
Today, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) announced the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency released $600 million in previously unobligated FEMA Public Assistance funds related to COVID-19 response costs. This announcement comes less than two months after Rep. Bresnahan sent a letter to DHS urging the release.
Assessments
Bresnahan took several same-term federal actions aligned with the broad economic promise, including voting for a House-passed farm bill, advancing his Local Farmers Feeding Our Communities Act within that package, seeking FY2027 community project funding tied to infrastructure and jobs, and helping press DHS/FEMA to release held-up funds for Pennsylvania hospitals. These are concrete pro-economy and local-workforce efforts, but the promise was broad and outcome-oriented: to unleash the American economy and get Pennsylvania back to work. The evidence shows policy activity and some localized benefits, not full delivery of that statewide or national economic result.
