It is past time for Congress to pass a fiscally conservative, five-year farm bill, including support for agricultural research and development... We cannot afford to put our food security at risk by not prioritizing adequate investments into animal health research when we pass the next iteration of our Farm Bill and I would urge this body to get this right.

Mann urged Congress to pass a five-year, fiscally conservative Farm Bill that prioritizes agricultural research and adequate animal health research investments for disease prevention.

Public Law 119-37 became law November 12, 2025; CRS says section 5002 extended 2018 farm bill programs until September 30, 2026 or other specified dates.

Congress extended the expiring 2018 farm bill rather than enacting a new five-year farm bill, indicating the campaign promise remained unfulfilled as of July 1, 2026.

The House Agriculture Committee page lists Tracey Mann as chairman of Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry and describes jurisdiction over livestock, animal products, inspection, marketing, and related oversight.

Mann held a relevant House Agriculture subcommittee leadership role connected to animal health and livestock policy, supporting evidence of issue-area engagement but not final passage.

Assessments

never later_term A for effort

The promised outcome was not just support for farm-bill priorities, but support for passage of a fiscally conservative five-year Farm Bill with agricultural research, animal health research, and disease-prevention investments. The 2024 House farm-bill vehicle contained relevant provisions and advanced out of committee, and Mann held relevant Agriculture Committee/subcommittee roles, which supports a serious effort. But the bill did not pass or become law. Later, Congress extended the 2018 farm bill through September 30, 2026 rather than enacting a new five-year farm bill, and the 2026 House vehicle remained only introduced as of the evidence date. Because the core promised outcome had not been enacted, this is a failed promise with effort credit.
