Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was broad but focused on ensuring Ninth District programs receive adequate funding. Evidence shows Cohen requested and secured enacted community project funding for the district in the same term, including more than $14.7 million for community projects and more than $3 million for law enforcement programs signed into law. Additional appropriations activity and listed FY2025/FY2026 requests support that this was an active funding effort, not just a stated position.
