Assessments
The promise is broad but centered on providing federal support to New Jersey. The evidence shows Watson Coleman helped secure federal funding for New Jersey and NJ-12 projects, including $18.1 million in district project funding, $16.53 million for current district projects including Old Bridge Food Bank support, FY2026 project funding, and support for federal water infrastructure dollars flowing to New Jersey. Because concrete federal funds were delivered to New Jersey communities, the promised outcome was fulfilled rather than merely attempted.
