Kaptur said work at Brandon Road can start again, thanked governors who joined her in pressing the President, said Congress authorized and funded the barrier, and said she would watch every step until the fisheries-protection project is finished.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback window, Kaptur publicly claimed direct oversight and pressure tied to the stop-work order being lifted. The statement shows serious action toward the commitment, but also confirms the barrier is not yet complete.

AP reported that the administration's hold on Brandon Road construction was lifted this week after work had been halted in July, and that officials had warned invasive carp were being found alarmingly close to Lake Michigan.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Independent reporting corroborates the key project status change in the lookback window: construction was paused, then allowed to resume. This supports partial progress rather than full delivery because the project remains in construction and had recently been delayed.

Kaptur took same-term oversight action by pressing the administration, joining Great Lakes Task Force efforts, raising the project in appropriations oversight, and publicly committing to watch the Brandon Road invasive carp barrier until completion. The stop-work order was lifted and construction was allowed to resume, which materially advances the promise. However, the promised fisheries-protection project is still under construction and not complete, so the outcome is partial rather than delivered.
