Evidence
"Delia also ... fights for transportation investments that enable residents to access good-paying jobs throughout the region" and "In Congress, Delia has: Is fighting for $13.5 million of federal funds for infrastructure and community projects for IL's 3rd District in the FY24 budget. These projects would invest in rail transportation improvements, highway and road repairs, affordable housing, capital projects for community organizations, and more"
Ramirez announced "the successful passage of $14.1 million in federal funding for 15 community projects in the IL-03 as part of the FY24 budget appropriations" and said the funding would "expand access to affordable housing, food security, clean water, street, and pedestrian safety." The release also lists road, pedestrian, transit, accessibility, and rail-related projects, including roadway safety, lead line replacement, transit signal priority, and Metra line study funding.
Ramirez announced "more than $14.3 million in federal funding for 15 projects in IL-03 as part of the FY26 budget appropriations" and said the funding would "increase the number of affordable housing units, expand safe outdoor spaces for students and communities, enhance infrastructure and road safety, and support workforce development in IL-03."
Assessments
Ramirez secured enacted federal community-project funding in the same congressional term, including $14.1 million in FY24 for housing, clean water, road, pedestrian, transit, accessibility, and rail-related projects, plus announced FY26 funding for additional housing, infrastructure, transportation safety, and workforce priorities. This substantially matches the promise’s infrastructure, safety, accessibility, green infrastructure, and jobs/workforce elements. However, the promise was broad and framed as 'transformative' infrastructure investments; the evidence shows meaningful district-level appropriations rather than a fully demonstrated transformative infrastructure program or comprehensive job-creation outcome, so partial is the best fit.
