Protect Puget Sound for Future Generations
Evidence
"I was proud to work with my colleagues in the Washington delegation to get the PUGET SOS Act signed into law in 2022, which will enhance the federal government’s role and investment in Puget Sound restoration vital to salmon and Orca recovery."
"Today, U.S. Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.) announced the successful passage of multiple Community Project Funding (CPF) requests that will deliver critical federal investments in water infrastructure, public safety, overdose response, reentry services, and STEM education across South King County and Seattle."
Assessments
Smith is a sitting federal representative and the evidence credits him with working with Washington delegation colleagues to enact the PUGET SOS Act in 2022, a federal law directly aimed at increasing federal investment and coordination for Puget Sound restoration, including salmon and orca recovery. Later community project funding for regional water infrastructure further supports continued delivery. The promise is broad and ongoing, but the named federal Puget Sound restoration law is a concrete fulfillment of the campaign commitment.
