I am proud to lead this bipartisan effort to ensure farmers and manufacturers have the resources they need to be successful and support our region.
Darin LaHood will lead bipartisan legislation to modernize agricultural and manufacturing bonds so farmers and manufacturers can access financing, expand operations, and create jobs.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official press releases page lists a June 2, 2026 item titled "LaHood, Feenstra, Sewell, Evans Reintroduce Bill to Strengthen Manufacturing and Agriculture."
LaHood's official Dec. 17, 2019 release says he and Rep. Stephanie Murphy introduced the Modernizing Agriculture and Manufacturing Bonds Act (H.R. 5422), a bipartisan bill to modernize financing tools used by farmers and manufacturers so they can grow, invest in equipment, hire workers, and create jobs.
Assessments
The evidence shows Darin LaHood did materially pursue this promise by introducing and later reintroducing bipartisan legislation specifically aimed at modernizing agriculture and manufacturing bonds. That supports real effort and leadership on the issue. But the record provided does not show that the bill was enacted or that the promised bond modernization actually took effect, which is the threshold for full delivery in a federal legislative context. Because he made a serious legislative attempt but there is no evidence here of final passage or implemented policy change, the promise is best scored as not delivered, with effort credit.
