Resident Commissioner Pablo José Hernández of Puerto Rico alongside House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (MS-02) and Representative Nellie Pou (NJ-09) introduced H.R. 10441 - Puerto Rico Disaster Recovery Completion Act of 2026
Assessments
The judged commitment is to support legislation extending the performance period for Puerto Rico disaster recovery projects, not to secure enactment of the extension. Verified evidence shows Representative Pou was one of the members who introduced H.R. 10441, and the verified bill text states that covered project deadlines would be extended to December 31, 2035. That is material candidate participation fulfilling the support-legislation action in the same term, though the separate enacted-policy outcome is not proven.
