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.
Norma Torres will continue opposing cuts to WIC funding and reduced access to healthy food benefits for mothers, infants, and children.
Occurrences
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.
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.
Assessments
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.
