And I will continue to push for the permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund
Continue pushing for the permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
Occurrences
Evidence
The act provides permanent, dedicated funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund at $900 million per year and was signed into law on August 4, 2020.
Title III reauthorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund indefinitely; the act was signed into law on March 12, 2019.
The Trump administration's budget proposal sought to repurpose LWCF money, but appropriations committees rejected similar proposals in the 2026 budget, leaving the fund intact.
Assessments
The promised policy outcome was achieved while Rick Larsen was still serving in Congress. The Land and Water Conservation Fund was permanently reauthorized in the John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, signed on March 12, 2019, and its permanent dedicated funding was secured in the Great American Outdoors Act, signed on August 4, 2020. Because the claim was to continue pushing for permanent reauthorization, and that outcome was enacted during his service rather than being completed later by unrelated officials, this is best scored as delivered in the same term.
