Case said the FY 2026 Defense Appropriations bill would fund the Department of Defense and the intelligence community, and his press release says he won committee approval of an amendment to prevent another Signal classified information incident.

He advanced both intelligence funding and a specific security/reform amendment, showing concrete follow-through on the promise.

Case said he supported House passage of the FY 2026 Defense appropriations measure, which included funding for the U.S. intelligence community, including the CIA and NSA.

He continued to vote for intelligence-community funding later in the term, but this still reflects ongoing action rather than a completed one-time reform promise.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Case promised to strengthen intelligence capabilities and continue reforms. The evidence shows concrete same-term follow-through through votes and committee work supporting intelligence-community funding, plus an amendment aimed at preventing classified-information handling failures. However, the record provided does not show a completed, measurable strengthening of intelligence capabilities or enacted reform outcome sufficient to mark the broad promise fully delivered. Because he made serious legislative efforts but the promised outcome is only partly substantiated, the appropriate outcome is partial with an effort badge.
