Assessments
The promise was broad and outcome-oriented: to invest in 21st century infrastructure. During her term, Leger Fernandez voted for and publicly supported the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which delivered concrete infrastructure funding to New Mexico for broadband, drinking water, and EV charging. The evidence also shows additional infrastructure-focused legislative activity. Because enacted federal infrastructure investments reached her state during the same term and align with the promise, this is best classified as delivered rather than merely attempted.
