Evidence

Congress must continue to prioritize long-term, targeted transportation funding for needed infrastructure repairs and improvements. We must also ensure that American tax dollars are being utilized effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, we must reform the infrastructure permitting process so that these critical projects can move forward. One of my priorities in Congress is bringing back federal funds for local hard infrastructure projects in the Sixth District.

Emmer’s current official transportation issue page still states the core claim and frames it as an active priority, but it is a policy position rather than a new enacted deliverable.

House Appropriations’ official CPF table shows Emmer’s transportation-related requests were included in the FY26 THUD process, which is concrete evidence of prioritization and targeted infrastructure funding work.

For Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26), Congressman Tom Emmer secured approximately $43 million in funding for hard infrastructure projects across Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District. "I’m proud to report that our work in Washington has secured important funding that will improve and repair outdated infrastructure in Minnesota’s Sixth District," said Emmer.

Emmer publicly claimed a successful funding outcome for district infrastructure projects tied to the FY26 THUD appropriations process, which is the strongest concrete sign of delivery in the record reviewed.

The promise was a broad federal office commitment to continue prioritizing long-term, targeted transportation funding for infrastructure repairs and improvements. The record shows Emmer did more than restate the position: he requested and publicly claimed approximately $43 million in FY26 hard infrastructure funding for Minnesota's 6th District, and House Appropriations materials list multiple Emmer-backed transportation projects in the FY26 THUD process. Because this is a current-term congressional funding outcome directly matching targeted infrastructure funding, it counts as delivered in the same term.
