What they do Legislative evidence

S 5301 · Voice for Farm Workers Act

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsorship meaningfully supports the farmworker part of the stated priority by expanding and reauthorizing USDA farmworker coordination, outreach, and services. However, the bill is focused on farmworker administration and does not directly address California farmers, food security programs, or agricultural production, so the support is narrower than the full claim.

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Voice for Farm Workers Act This bill reauthorizes and expands the duties of the Farmworker Coordinator at the Department of Agriculture (USDA).”
“(Part of the Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement, the coordinator identifies challenges faced by farmworkers and coordinates with USDA programs and other federal agencies to address the community’s needs.)”
“The bill reauthorizes the position of Farmworker Coordinator through FY2031. Among other things, the bill also requires the coordinator to develop and implement a plan to coordinate USDA farmworker outreach activities and services, collaborate with USDA's agencies and offices on farmworker-related programmatic and policy decisions, communicate to employers of farmworkers information about federal programs for which their employees may be eligible, and measure and analyze the outcomes of USDA farmworker programs and activities.”
“Further, the bill expands the coordinator's existing duties to include (1) serving as a liaison to institutions of higher education and local educational agencies, and (2) consulting with community-based nonprofit organizations on areas such as technical skills and job training programs.”
“The bill also directs the coordinator to hire the staff who are necessary to carry out the coordinator's activities.”

S 629 · Emergency Conservation Program Improvement Act of 2025

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsorship partially supports the stated goal because the bill expands emergency conservation assistance for agricultural producers, including payments and advance cost-sharing for repairing or restoring farmland and related conservation structures after natural disasters. That can help farmers maintain production. However, the summary does not specifically address farmworkers or California’s food security programs, and it is an emergency disaster-relief measure rather than a direct agricultural production or food-security program expansion.

“Senator Schiff is dedicated to enacting policies that support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Emergency Conservation Program Improvement Act of 2025 This act revises the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) and the Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP) to expand eligibility for payments to agricultural producers and owners of forest land impacted by natural disasters.”
“The act expands advance ECP payments to include the replacement, repair, or restoration of farmland or conservation structures requiring an immediate response.”
“Producers may receive an advance on cost-sharing payments for 75% of the cost of the replacement and 50% of the cost of the repair or restoration.”

Opposing provisions

“Under EFRP, the act allows owners of nonindustrial private forest land impacted by a natural disaster to receive an advance on cost-sharing payments for up to 75% of the cost of the emergency measures.”
“Currently, advance payments are not available under the program. ECP and EFRP recipients must use the funds within 180 days after the funds are disbursed.”
“The act also expands eligibility for payments under the programs to include emergency measures to address damages caused by (1) a wildfire that is not caused naturally, if the damage is caused by the spread of the wildfire due to natural causes; and (2) a wildfire that is caused by the federal government.”

SRES 592 · A resolution supporting the designation of 2026 as the "International Year of the Woman Farmer" to recognize and honor the critical role of women in agriculture.

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsored resolution meaningfully supports agriculture and the agricultural workforce by recognizing women in agriculture and encouraging women to pursue agricultural careers and leadership. That is a limited, gender-specific contribution to the broader goal of supporting California’s farmers and farmworkers and strengthening agricultural production and food systems, but it does not directly address California-specific food security programs or farmworker support, so it is narrower than the stated policy goal.

S 3071 · Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025

Cosponsor

Procedural / indirectCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The cosponsorship supports continued funding for SNAP and WIC during a USDA appropriations lapse, which is a nutrition-assistance funding measure. However, the supplied priority is specifically about supporting California’s farmers and farmworkers and bolstering state food security programs and agricultural production. The bill text does not directly advance farmers, farmworkers, or agricultural production; it is aimed at preserving nutrition benefits and related state administrative reimbursement, so any connection to the stated priority is indirect and too attenuated for a substantive rating.

“Senator Schiff is dedicated to enacting policies that support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025 This bill provides FY2026 appropriations for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to continue operating the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); and a related block grant program if there is a lapse in FY2026 appropriations for USDA.”
“If such a lapse in appropriations occurs, the bill provides the appropriations that are necessary to continue providing uninterrupted SNAP benefits, providing consolidated block grants to Puerto Rico and American Samoa for nutrition assistance programs, and carrying out WIC without interruption.”
“The bill also requires USDA to use the funds provided by this bill to reimburse state agencies for costs that were incurred to carry out these programs during a lapse in appropriations, to the extent that the programs were carried out in accordance with federal law (including regulations) during the lapse.”

SRES 434 · A resolution expressing support for the designation of October 5 through October 11, 2025, as "National 4-H Week".

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: support California’s farmers and farmworkers, and that bolster our state’s food security programs and agricultural production

The stated policy goal is to support California’s farmers and farmworkers and strengthen food security programs and agricultural production. The cosponsorship is only of a resolution designating National 4-H Week and recognizing 4-H’s youth development role. While 4-H is connected to agriculture in a general sense, the resolution does not directly advance California farmers, farmworkers, food security programs, or agricultural production, so the comparison is too indirect to score as support or opposition.
