HR 7567 – Farm Bill: Yes

April 30, 2026 Vote Notes on Legislation HR 7567 – Farm Bill: Yes. There is much to dislike in this Farm Bill, including the fraud-ridden SNAP program and subsidies that ultimately inflate the costs of everything from commodities to insurance (while hiding them for the recipients of these subsidies). However, I consider as a very high priority for the people of the Sierra Nevada to restore sound forest management to our federal lands. This includes two of my bills: HR 178 and 179. HR 178 cuts the red tape that is preventing us from thinning our forests and HR 179 requires Federal Agencies to put out fires immediately -- when they are first spotted. It also maintains the work requirements for able-bodied adults for food stamps, prevents illegal aliens from accessing this program and requires more frequent eligibility checks.  The fraud in this program is off the charts -- and these provisions promise to save about $200 billion over the next ten years.
