Assessments

delivered later_term A for effort

Gonzalez's 2016 federal House promise was to support UTRGV's new medical school and expanded engineering programs. While UTRGV's medical school already existed when he took office, later in office his congressional office materially supported UTRGV School of Medicine operations during COVID-19 testing, with UTRGV officials crediting him for helping obtain testing kits. He also announced and claimed to have secured federal funding for UTRGV's South Texas Industrial Assessment Center, supporting engineering student training and development of an energy engineering program. These actions satisfy the broad promise to support both areas, but the concrete evidence falls after his first House term, so timing is later_term.
