Roll Call 154 shows H.R. 7567 passed the House on April 30, 2026, so the bill with the EQIP cut advanced out of the House.

The House passed the farm bill after the failed effort to remove the EQIP cut, leaving the promise unfulfilled at this stage.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Budzinski made a serious same-term legislative attempt to fulfill the promise by offering an amendment to remove the $1.055 billion EQIP cut from H.R. 7567, but the amendment was defeated in the Rules Committee. The House then passed the bill with the EQIP cut still included on April 30, 2026, so the promised prevention did not occur at the relevant House stage. Because the candidate materially tried but failed to deliver the stated outcome, this is scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
