Mrvan materially advanced the promised federal funding as a sitting U.S. Representative. The FY2026 appropriations explanatory statement incorporated multiple Mrvan-backed Northwest Indiana law-enforcement technology and equipment projects, including body-worn cameras, radio replacements, and equipment/technology upgrades. The FY2027 House report also shows continued pursuit of similar COPS Technology projects including tactical gear, portable radios, and accident reconstruction scanner equipment. Because concrete federal project funding was included while he remained in office, this counts as delivered in the same term.
