Invest in 21st century infrastructure.
Evidence
The official House office page says she voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, calls it the largest broadband investment in U.S. history, and says it included $65 billion for broadband and $675 million for New Mexico through BEAD.
Her official press release says New Mexico is receiving nearly $68 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and quotes her saying she voted for it because it provides the infrastructure support she wanted.
The official release says New Mexico will receive $28.65 million made possible by the delegation's work to pass the Infrastructure Law, and Leger Fernández says water and infrastructure investments are best to grow communities.
GovInfo shows Teresa Leger Fernandez sponsored H.R. 4290, an infrastructure-related bill referred to House committees.
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.
