USDA issued the Secretarial natural disaster designation for New York on July 28, 2026, covering the April 19-21, 2026 frost and freeze and making affected counties, including NY-22 counties, eligible for FSA emergency loans. A state release also ties the approval to Mannion's oversight pressure on USDA and Secretary Rollins. Because the outcome occurred during Mannion's current House term and matched the promised action, this counts as delivered in the same term.
