I will keep working across the aisle to reverse harmful cuts to nutrition programs because in the richest country in the world, children, veterans, seniors, and working families should never be left wondering how they will put food on the table.

Costa commits to continue bipartisan efforts to undo cuts to nutrition programs.

Costa Statement on House Passage of the Farm Bill 2026 | Congressman Jim Costa

Evidence

"After three years of delays, I’m glad the House has finally made substantive progress but there is still more work to do. We must ensure the provisions that support American families, farmers, and producers remain while continuing to improve this bill in the Senate. I will keep working across the aisle to reverse harmful cuts to nutrition programs..." The statement also says Costa secured inclusion of the Dairy Nutrition Incentives Program, which "will help SNAP recipients afford and purchase more nutritious dairy products."

Costa publicly reaffirmed his effort to reverse nutrition-program cuts and cited a concrete farm-bill outcome that preserves or expands nutrition-related support for SNAP recipients, but he framed it as an ongoing Senate fight rather than a completed reversal.

Roll Call 154 for H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, shows the House voted on passage on Apr. 30, 2026, and the status was "Passed" by a vote of 224 yeas to 200 nays.

The House advanced the farm bill that Costa said contains his nutrition-related priorities, but this was only House passage, not final enactment or a reversal of the cuts he opposed.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 1 as Public Law No. 119-21 and says Title I changes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and extends 2018 farm bill programs.

The harmful nutrition-program cuts Costa sought to reverse were enacted in the same Congress and remained federal law; this is background showing the target cuts were not reversed by the later farm-bill effort.

Roll Call 190 shows the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed 218-214 on July 3, 2025; the vote table records Rep. Costa, Democrat of California, voting No.

Costa opposed final House passage of the reconciliation bill that included SNAP changes, a concrete but unsuccessful action against the nutrition cuts.

The H.R. 7567 text includes Title IV nutrition provisions, including reauthorization of the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program and dairy nutrition incentives projects.

The farm bill text contains nutrition-support provisions aligned with Costa's stated push, but bill text alone does not prove reversal of the broader SNAP cuts.

Roll Call 154 shows H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, passed the House 224-200 on April 30, 2026; Rep. Costa is listed as voting Yea.

Costa voted for the House farm bill tied to his nutrition-program statement, showing concrete legislative effort, but the record does not show final enactment or full reversal of the cuts.

Congress.gov's overview for H.R. 7567 lists the latest action as referral to the House Agriculture Committee on February 13, 2026, and shows the bill has not become law.

As of the current refresh, an official legislative status page did not show enactment of H.R. 7567 or a completed reversal of nutrition-program cuts, leaving the commitment unresolved beyond partial House activity.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Costa took concrete same-term actions aligned with the promise: he opposed H.R. 1 when it included SNAP/nutrition cuts, supported House passage of H.R. 7567, and cited nutrition provisions such as dairy incentives for SNAP recipients. However, the evidence does not show final enactment of H.R. 7567 or a completed reversal of the harmful nutrition-program cuts, which remained in federal law. This merits partial credit for material legislative effort, not full delivery.

partial same_term A for effort

Costa publicly continued pressing to reverse nutrition-program cuts and helped advance a House farm bill that preserved or expanded some nutrition-related support, including the Dairy Nutrition Incentives Program. But the evidence shows the reversal was not completed and remained a Senate-stage fight, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.

partial same_term A for effort

Costa made a concrete same-term effort tied to the 2026 farm bill: he publicly pushed to reverse nutrition-program cuts, claimed inclusion of the Dairy Nutrition Incentives Program, and the House passed H.R. 7567 with nutrition-related provisions. But the promise was to reverse harmful cuts to nutrition programs, and the evidence shows only House passage and an ongoing Senate fight, not final enactment or completed reversal. This supports partial credit for materially advancing the issue, not full delivery.
