The promised outcome was to make the SNAP online purchasing pilot permanent, which requires final federal enactment or executive implementation. Messmer materially advanced the policy by securing permanent-authority language in the House farm bill and supporting House passage in April 2026, but the evidence shows only House passage and bill text, not enactment into law or implementation as a permanent program. That is a serious same-term legislative effort, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.
