Evidence
The official homepage features a highlighted item reading, "Langworthy Secures Significant Priorities for Western New York and the Southern Tier in Farm Bill Text," shown beside a grapes image.
Assessments
Langworthy gets partial credit because there is evidence of material same-term advancement toward the promise, but not final delivery. His official House page says he secured farm-bill priorities for Western New York and the Southern Tier, and the 2026 House farm bill text includes a frost or cold weather insurance provision covering table grapes, wine grapes, and juice grapes. But Congress.gov shows H.R. 7567 was only introduced on February 13, 2026 and had not become law as of June 18, 2026. The provision itself also does not immediately establish an operating insurance program; it directs research and development regarding an index-based policy. That is meaningful progress tied to the candidate, but it falls short of establishing the promised program.
