Continue working across the aisle to ensure funding for protecting the Great Lakes.
Occurrences
Evidence
The Great Lakes issue page says Moolenaar 'strongly support[s] the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI)' and 'will continue to work across the aisle to ensure funding for protecting the Great Lakes.'
The bill text says Moolenaar was among the members who introduced H.R. 1809, 'To reauthorize funding to monitor, assess, and research the Great Lakes Basin.'
Congress.gov lists Moolenaar as an original cosponsor of the bipartisan Great Lakes Fishery Research Reauthorization Act, alongside members from both parties.
Roll Call 7 shows the House passed H.R. 6938 by 397-28 on January 8, 2026.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 6938 became Public Law No. 119-74 on January 23, 2026, after passage by the House and Senate and signature by the President.
GovInfo identifies H.R. 6938 as the enrolled appropriations bill for fiscal year 2026, confirming the final enactment stage for the package that funded Great Lakes-related programs.
Assessments
The promise was to continue bipartisan work to secure Great Lakes protection funding. During Moolenaar's current federal House term, a FY2026 appropriations package containing Great Lakes-related funding was enacted as Public Law 119-74 on January 23, 2026. The record also shows Moolenaar taking direct, bipartisan legislative action as an original cosponsor of H.R. 1809, a Great Lakes funding/research reauthorization bill. Because the funding outcome became law in the same term and the candidate materially participated in relevant bipartisan Great Lakes funding efforts, this counts as delivered.
The promise was to continue bipartisan work to ensure Great Lakes protection funding. Evidence shows Moolenaar publicly supported GLRI funding, participated in bipartisan Great Lakes reauthorization activity, and the relevant FY2026 appropriations package containing Great Lakes-related funding was enacted as Public Law No. 119-74 on January 23, 2026. Because the funding outcome was enacted during the same term, this is best classified as delivered rather than merely attempted.
