An amendment to exempt capital gains taxes up to $5 million dollars for family-owned farmland. This would help ensure that family farmers stay in business and continue to thrive generationally.
Janelle Bynum will exempt up to $5 million in capital gains on family-owned farmland.
Occurrences
Evidence
Yesterday, Congresswoman Janelle Bynum (OR-05) voted against the harmful FY27 Agriculture-FDA funding bill.
Assessments
Bynum has served in the U.S. House only since January 3, 2025. As of June 12, 2026, the available federal-office evidence does not show that a law exempting up to $5 million in capital gains on family-owned farmland has been enacted, nor does it show that Bynum introduced, sponsored, or materially advanced that specific policy. The cited June 5, 2026 action was a vote against an Agriculture-FDA appropriations bill, which is unrelated to delivering this capital-gains exemption. Because her first federal term is still ongoing and there is no clear record yet of delivery or a serious failed attempt on this specific promise, the best judgment is unresolved.
