Assessments
For a federal House member, this promise is about supporting funding rather than personally controlling final enactment. Moolenaar publicly backed FY2026 appropriations legislation that included $420 million for the Anti-Opioid and Substance Abuse Initiative within State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance, and that appropriations package was later enacted into law on January 23, 2026 while he was still serving in office. Because he supported the relevant funding measure and the funded outcome was enacted in the same term, this counts as delivered with same-term timing.
Moolenaar, as a sitting U.S. Representative, voted for and publicly supported FY2026 appropriations legislation that included $420 million for the Anti-Opioid and Substance Abuse Initiative within state and local law enforcement assistance. The appropriations package was enacted into law during the same congressional term, so the promised support for funding states to combat the opioid crisis was fulfilled in the relevant federal office context.
