Assessments
Perez campaigned on climate action and energy-efficiency upgrades, including manufactured-home weather skirting. During her House term, a provision from her proposal was included in the FY2026 Energy and Water appropriations law, directing DOE to prioritize Weatherization Assistance Program grants for manufactured-housing skirting, awnings, and related efficiency methods. That is a concrete enacted federal policy within the greener-economy promise, with candidate contribution and same-term enactment.
The promise is broad but centered on climate action and green-economy measures. Evidence shows a concrete same-term enacted result: a provision from her manufactured-housing energy-efficiency proposal was included in the 2026 Energy, Water Development, and Related Agencies funding bill and signed into law, directing DOE to prioritize Weatherization Assistance Program grants for manufactured housing skirting and awnings. Additional introduced bills on energy efficiency and community wood facilities show continued legislative effort, but the enacted weatherization provision is enough to mark the promise delivered at the targeted, plausible scale of this campaign claim.
