Evidence

USACE crews conducted 2026 seasonal intensive monitoring on Lake Calumet and reported no bighead or silver carp were captured or observed. The article says the invasive carp front remains about 47 miles from Lake Michigan and that the upcoming Brandon Road project will add layered deterrents.

Current federal monitoring and construction efforts are still active, and the latest monitoring found no invasive carp in this area, which points to an ongoing containment effort rather than eradication.

Baldwin joined bipartisan legislation to extend the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative through 2031 and increase annual funding. The page says the program has 'controlled and stopped the advancement of invasive species' and that Baldwin works to secure continued funding through the annual budget process.

Baldwin has continued to back federal Great Lakes protection funding that includes invasive species control, which is concrete action but not evidence that Asian carp have been eradicated.

Assessments

partial later_term A for effort

Baldwin has materially supported federal Great Lakes funding and invasive-species control efforts, including backing legislation to extend and fund the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which aligns with stopping Asian carp spread. But the record does not show eradication of Asian carp from Great Lakes and Wisconsin waterways; the evidence instead shows ongoing monitoring and deterrence efforts with no capture in one area. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
