Representing Oregon’s Dist. 2, U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, a Republican, voted in support of the bill according to a geography of votes created by New York Times: Politics.
As reported by Jonathan Weisman and Ron Nixon for the New York Times:
“The 216-to-208 vote saved House Republican leaders from an embarrassing reprisal of the unexpected defeat of a broader version of the bill in June, but the future of agriculture policy remains uncertain. The food stamp program, formally called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, was 80 percent of the original bill’s cost, and it remains the centerpiece of the Senate’s bipartisan farm bill.”
