Address climate change.

Evidence
Her provision was included as part of the 2026 Energy, Water Development, and Related Agencies funding bill, which is now law. Specifically, it encourages the Department of Energy to prioritize grants available within the Weatherization Assistance Program for manufacturing housing skirting, awning, and other traditional means of energy efficiency.
The Committee encourages the Department to prioritize grants available within the Weatherization Assistance Program for manufacturing housing skirting, awning, and other traditional means of energy efficiency.
Assessments
The promise to address climate change is broad. The evidence shows Gluesenkamp Perez materially advanced and secured enacted appropriations language encouraging Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program grants for manufactured-home skirting, awnings, and other energy-efficiency measures. That is a real federal policy result during her current House term and is climate-adjacent because it can reduce energy use and emissions, but it is much narrower than delivering a comprehensive climate-change agenda. This supports partial delivery rather than full delivery.
