Houlahan's official House release says she, Stephanie Bice, and Maria Salazar reintroduced bipartisan legislation to expand donated breast milk access for medically vulnerable infants, including WIC support for donor milk programs.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. In the current federal House term, Houlahan introduced/reintroduced the Access to Donor Milk Act of 2026, which directly matches the promised policy by expanding donor breast milk access for medically vulnerable infants and allowing WIC-related support for donor milk collection, storage, and transfer. Because her own legislative action satisfies the promised support, this counts as delivered in the same term even though the bill had only been referred to committee as of the provided evidence.
