Occurrences

Prohibits federal agencies from purchasing foreign seafood for covered food programs and requires that seafood be sourced from the United States, with limited waivers allowed if the domestic supply is insufficient or fails to meet safety and quality standards.

An amendment in H.R. 7567 would require federally purchased seafood for covered food programs to be sourced from the United States, with narrow waivers.

Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo shows H.R. 8337 was introduced by Rep. Julia Letlow on April 16, 2026 and referred to four House committees. The bill would bar agency procurement of seafood for covered food programs unless it is U.S.-harvested or U.S.-produced/processed, with waivers for insufficient U.S. supply or failure to meet federal safety or quality standards.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The exact policy described by the commitment exists as introduced legislation, but the official record found no enactment or Lucas sponsorship/cosponsorship/action on this bill by the September 5, 2026 refresh.

Roll Call 154 was final passage of H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act; it passed 224-200. The member-by-member vote lists Lucas, Republican, Oklahoma, voting Yea.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Lucas took concrete supporting action on the House-passed farm bill. This is partial evidence toward the seafood procurement commitment because the farm bill contained narrower Buy American food-program provisions, while the broader H.R. 8337 requirement remains unresolved.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Lucas took a concrete same-term federal action by voting for H.R. 7567, a House-passed farm bill that included related Buy American food-program provisions. However, the exact seafood procurement restriction described in the promise appears in H.R. 8337, and the provided record shows no enactment and no Lucas sponsorship, cosponsorship, or other direct action on that bill. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
