Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThis is a specific policy goal (moonshot goal) with a concrete numeric target — worth checking whether this figure is feasible or grounded in any existing framework.
What we foundLahn stated this as his goal for Iowa's public schools ("my moonshot goal has been to have eighty percent of the food served in Iowa's public schools grown right here in the state of Iowa"), not as a description of where things stand today, so there is no present-day figure to rate.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Not supported. Changed to Opinion following post-debate review: Lahn described this as his goal ("my moonshot goal has been"), not as a statement of current figures, so it is not a checkable claim of fact. The summary was rewritten to match.
