Assessments
Pou promised to keep fighting to bring federal dollars to Kearny and NJ-9 communities. During her federal House term, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 became law and included Transportation-HUD funding. The congressional explanatory statement specifically lists a $3,000,000 Passaic Avenue Safety Improvements project in New Jersey with requestors Menendez and Pou, directly tying Pou to federal funding for the relevant district/community context. This satisfies the promised outcome in the same term.
