Evidence

House Fiscal Agency summary for House Bill 5619 shows the Legislative Auditor General budget at $32,657,500 gross and $22,400,900 GF/GP for FY 2026-27, with a $951,200 gross increase from FY 2025-26 YTD.

Recent official budget action shows the auditor general office continuing to receive appropriations, but this does not establish that John James personally delivered the promise to fully fund the office.

The Auditor General's work-in-progress page shows current financial audits in progress, including the State of Michigan Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports audit with an estimated release in May 2026.

The office remains active and operating, which is consistent with ongoing funding, but it is not direct evidence that the campaign promise was specifically fulfilled.

The evidence shows Michigan's Office of the Auditor General continues to receive state appropriations and remains operational, but it does not establish that the office was 'fully funded' as promised or that John James wrote, sponsored, voted for, or materially advanced the relevant state budget action. Because James is a federal officeholder and the cited appropriations appear to be state legislative actions by other officials, the record is insufficient to credit him with delivery. No serious failed attempt by James is shown either.
