Occurrences

Congresswoman Norma J. Torres (CA-35) during the House Appropriations Subcommittee markup of the Fiscal Year 2027 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies funding bill, spoke out against harmful cuts that would take food off the tables of women, children, and working families. Rep. Torres voted against the bill.

Torres opposed the FY2027 agriculture funding bill because it cut WIC funding and reduced fruit and vegetable benefits.

Evidence

The homepage currently links to a page titled "The Big Beautiful Betrayal" warning that Republicans' bill will rip away healthcare and food assistance for working families, showing the office is still publicly opposing benefit cuts.

Current office messaging continues to oppose broad food-assistance cuts; this is broader than WIC but consistent with the pledge.

Torres' office says she spoke out against the FY2027 Agriculture appropriations bill, voted against it, and warned it cut $200 million from WIC plus fruit-and-vegetable benefits.

Direct official evidence that Torres opposed a specific bill cutting WIC funding and reducing healthy-food access for mothers, infants, and children.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Torres’ office shows ongoing public opposition to cuts affecting WIC and related food benefits, including a press release about warning against a bill that would cut WIC funding and her vote against that bill. That is consistent with the promise to continue opposing such cuts during her current term.
