“Passing a bipartisan Farm Bill gives Valley farmers and ranchers the certainty they need to plan, manage risk, and keep producing,” said Congressman Adam Gray (CA-13). “It strengthens support for American-grown products and invests in the tools needed to stay competitive. This is about keeping agriculture strong in the Central Valley.”
I will support bipartisan farm legislation that gives Valley farmers and ranchers certainty, strengthens support for American-grown products, and invests in tools to stay competitive.
Occurrences
I am committed to delivering bipartisan results for Valley farmers, ranchers, dairymen, and their families.
Evidence
Congressman Adam Gray said he was committed to delivering bipartisan results for Valley farmers, ranchers, dairymen, and their families. The press release says the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 would expand risk management tools for farmers, protect American-grown commodities, and support precision agriculture and new technology. It also says the committee passed the bill 34-17 and that Gray secured two amendments for Central Valley farmers.
The House Agriculture Committee repository states that H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, as amended, was ordered reported favorably to the House by a vote of 34 yeas and 17 nays.
The office says Gray helped pass the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 through the full House and secured an amendment to protect the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. Gray is quoted saying a bipartisan farm bill gives Valley farmers and ranchers certainty, strengthens support for American-grown products, and invests in the tools needed to stay competitive.
The House committee report on the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 documents committee consideration of the bill and the reported version moving forward in the legislative process.
Assessments
Gray’s promise was to support bipartisan farm legislation benefiting Valley farmers and ranchers. The evidence shows he did materially support such legislation in office: he backed the 2026 farm bill in committee and on the House floor, and secured amendments aimed at specialty crops and Central Valley agricultural interests. That matches the promise’s language and demonstrates serious action. However, the record provided shows House committee approval and full House passage, not final enactment into law or a completed policy outcome. Because he clearly advanced the promise but the available evidence does not show full delivery of the promised legislative result, the best judgment is partial fulfillment during the same term.
