Evidence

Pocan said 14 Community Project Funding awards in the FY2026 appropriations process were signed into law, including $1,000,000 for Mineral Point lead service line replacement, $525,000 for the Middleton Graber Greenway Project, and $250,000 for Loganville street, water, and sewer upgrades.

Concrete federal funding was enacted for water-system cleanup and greenway/stormwater projects in WI-02, which is partial implementation of the habitat-and-waterway promise.

GovInfo shows H.R. 7940 was introduced in the House on March 16, 2026; the bill was introduced by Rep. Grothman for himself, Rep. Pocan, and Rep. Wied and would require federal agencies to consider invasive species when prescribing fishways.

Pocan took a concrete legislative step aimed at protecting Wisconsin rivers and lakes from invasive species, but the bill was only introduced, not enacted.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Pocan materially advanced the promise through enacted FY2026 community project funding for water-service replacement and greenway/stormwater work, plus a legislative bill aimed at protecting aquatic ecosystems from invasive species. Those are concrete steps toward cleaner waterways and habitat protection, but they do not show that the broad promise to preserve natural habitats and keep lakes and waterways clean was fully delivered, so this is partial credit in his current term.
