Assessments
McDonald Rivet promised to support Ukraine funding, and as a sitting U.S. Representative she voted Yea in the same congressional term on H.R. 7006, an appropriations bill containing international security assistance, countering Russian influence funding, and Ukraine-specific provisions. Because the promise was framed as support rather than guaranteeing enactment of a standalone Ukraine package, her affirmative vote on relevant federal funding legislation is sufficient to count as delivered in the same term.
