Vindman Votes ‘No’ on Farm Bill That Makes Life Harder and More Expensive for Farmers & Families

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Eugene Vindman (Va.-07), member of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, released the following statement after voting 'no' on the Farm Bill on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"Plain and simple, the bill brought to the House floor today does not meet this moment. It locks in $187 billion in SNAP cuts, shields the largest pesticide manufacturers from liability, drives up food costs when grocery prices are already high, and doubles down on Trump's tariffs that continue to put pressure on farm country.

"House Republicans had an opportunity to deliver real relief. Instead, they advanced a farm bill that puts corporate interests ahead of both farmers and families.

"I will always stand up for Virginia's farmers and producers. Today, that meant voting no on a bill that fails to meet the needs of our communities. Congress should be working together on a bipartisan solution that actually lowers costs, supports producers, and delivers for the families who depend on them every day."
