I will not stop fighting for Louisiana agriculture, and if I had full control, I would stop all or most imported seafood and rice.

Evidence

Clay Higgins is a cosponsor of H.R. 2071, which was reported in the House on March 25, 2026. The bill would prohibit federal funds from supporting international financial institutions for foreign shrimp farms.

Concrete recent action supporting U.S. shrimpers, but it does not stop imports of seafood or address rice imports directly.

In House floor remarks, Higgins said he was glad USDA had established a new Office of Seafood to better support the seafood industry and help enable the administration's America First seafood strategy.

Recent pro-domestic-seafood rhetoric and support for USDA seafood coordination, but no evidence here of a move to stop imports or of any rice-import restriction.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Higgins made concrete same-term efforts for Louisiana seafood producers, including cosponsoring the Save Our Shrimpers Act and advocating tougher treatment of foreign seafood imports. Those actions materially align with part of the promise, but they did not deliver the promised outcome of stopping all or most imported seafood, and the record provided shows no comparable rice-import restriction. Because the promised import stoppage was not achieved despite serious legislative and advocacy efforts, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
