The official Nutrition page, crawled within the lookback window, says Hayes has introduced nutrition bills and that her legislation would streamline access to WIC; the listed 2026 nutrition items do not show enactment or final implementation of that WIC-access pledge.

GovInfo identifies H.R. 5757, the WIC for Kids Act, as sponsored by Jahana Hayes and referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on September 27, 2023. The bill title would amend the Child Nutrition Act to extend WIC certification periods.
Assessments
Hayes materially pursued the WIC-access goal by sponsoring the WIC for Kids Act, which would extend certification periods and reduce enrollment barriers. However, the cited federal record shows introduction and committee referral only, and current official materials still describe WIC streamlining as proposed legislation rather than an enacted or implemented policy change during the 119th Congress. Because the term produced by the 2024 campaign is still the relevant context and no completed outcome is shown, this is unresolved rather than delivered.
