Evidence

Bacon said more than $21 million in Nebraska priorities were included in the FY26 THUD appropriations package, including funding to modernize transportation infrastructure, improve roadway and pedestrian safety, upgrade water and sewer systems, strengthen stormwater management, and expand Eppley Airfield.

Official claim of support for infrastructure-related appropriations, but it is an announcement of included priorities rather than a final enacted national infrastructure achievement.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 7090, sponsored by Bacon, to designate the portion of Interstate Route 680 in Omaha as the 'Hal Daub Freeway'; the bill was referred to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and remained introduced.

He sponsored a transportation-related bill touching highway infrastructure, but the measure did not advance beyond introduction in the available record.

Bacon joined a bipartisan bill to improve cargo-pilot workplace protections; the bill was referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

This is a concrete transportation-adjacent legislative effort, but the available record shows introduction only, not passage or implementation.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Bacon has taken infrastructure-related actions in federal office, including sponsoring or joining transportation-related bills and announcing Nebraska transportation, water, sewer, stormwater, roadway safety, and airport priorities included in an FY26 THUD appropriations package. However, the cited record mainly shows introductions, committee referrals, or appropriations priorities included in a package rather than a final enacted national infrastructure improvement clearly attributable to him. Because the promise was broadly framed as working to improve infrastructure, these actions merit partial credit, but not full delivery.
