Farms and food
In short
Paige Cognetti's campaign lists no farm policy position on the pages checked. Rob Bresnahan's campaign wants farm policy that works for growers and a program paying local farmers to supply food banks. The House-passed farm bill, which is not law, includes his program but not his bill's set $200 million a year. His bill to fund WIC in a shutdown stayed in committee; he voted for a 2025 law giving WIC $8.2 billion.

What the record shows.
official action
Rob Bresnahan Jr: Matches stated record claim
Section 4306 of the House-passed farm bill is the Local Farmers Feeding Our Communities Program, but without his bill's set $200 million a year; the Senate has not passed it.
Full detail
His office says the House farm bill includes his bipartisan Local Farmers Feeding our Communities Act. He introduced H.R. 4782 on July 29, 2025, with Democratic and Republican original cosponsors. Section 4306 of the House farm bill, H.R. 7567, is the Local Farmers Feeding Our Communities Program. He voted for the farm bill, which passed the House 224-200 on April 30, 2026. The Senate has not passed it. Limit: "Final bill" means the House-passed version. It is not law, and the section could change in a deal with the Senate. The section copies his bill's program but not its guaranteed $200 million a year; the money would depend on yearly appropriations.
official action
Rob Bresnahan Jr: Matches stated direction
He introduced a 2025 bill to fund WIC during a shutdown, which stayed in committee, and voted for a November 2025 spending law that gave WIC $8.2 billion.
Full detail
His office says mothers and babies on WIC should not go hungry because of a government shutdown. He introduced H.R. 5836, the Keep WIC Working Act, on October 28, 2025, to fund WIC during any shutdown in fiscal 2026. It is still in committee. On November 12, 2025 he voted for H.R. 5371, which the House cleared 222-209 and which became Public Law 119-37 that day. Its farm and food title, Division B, gives WIC $8.2 billion. Limit: His own bill would have lasted only until the year's farm and food funding passed, which this law did.
