House Passed Farm Bill - Senate Vote Ahead
Stand Against a Farm Bill that Fails to Reverse Harmful SNAP Cuts
The House recently passed the Farm Bill with a vote of 224-200. The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 fails to reverse the deeply damaging $187 billion in SNAP cuts from H.R.1, as well as other harmful changes that will further weaken the program.
We want to take a moment to thank Congressman Chris Deluzio and Congresswoman Summer Lee for voting no on a Farm Bill that fails to protect families here in Pennsylvania, and all across the country.
The Senate must now reject the House version of the Farm bill and prioritize legislation that protects families struggling to keep food on the table – including, cosponsoring these SNAP Marker bills (FRAC). An investment in the SNAP program is an investment in the wellbeing of millions of Americans. Use the tool above from FRAC to send a message to your Senators.
SNAP serves as the number one defense against hunger. In 2024, 2 million Pennsylvania residents, or 1 in 7 people relied on SNAP, with almost 58% of participants in families with children (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities).
According to FRAC, “SNAP participation has declined by approximately 3.3. Million people” over the last year across the U.S. Funding cuts and changes to the program mean less children, older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, and families without essential support. Data shared from PA DHS shows that more than 5,000 of our neighbors in Allegheny County have already lost SNAP benefits due to the rule changes in HR1.
