Evidence

The House Clerk record for Roll Call 176 shows H. Res. 1299, concerning House concurrence in the Senate amendment to H.R. 6644 with amendment, passed 396-13 on May 20, 2026. The vote list records Rep. DelBene, Democrat of Washington, voting Yea.

Within the lookback window, DelBene voted for the House vehicle advancing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a broad housing affordability package. Because final enactment was still pending, this is partial progress rather than full delivery.

The Office of Management and Budget said H. Res. 1299 and the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would make housing more affordable through regulatory barrier removal, innovative housing solutions, and limits on large institutional investor purchases of single-family homes. The Administration supported passage and said advisers would recommend signing it if presented.

This supports that the bill DelBene voted for was materially tied to increasing housing affordability, but also shows it was not yet final law during the lookback window.

GovInfo identifies H. Res. 1299 as the 119th Congress resolution titled 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, providing for House concurrence in the Senate amendment to H.R. 6644 with an amendment.

The official bill text confirms the procedural vehicle was still moving through Congress, so the housing package remained unresolved even after House passage.

DelBene’s office announced that Reps. DelBene and Seth Moulton introduced the American High Speed Rail Act, a $200 billion five-year proposal. The release says the bill expands transit-oriented development incentives to grow affordable housing around new rail hubs.

This is a new lookback-window bill introduction by DelBene with an affordable-housing component, supporting continued pursuit of the commitment but not completion.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 3964, the Affordable Housing Equity Act of 2025, as introduced on June 12, 2025 and referred to House Ways and Means. The bill title states it would increase the low-income housing tax credit for projects serving extremely low-income households; DelBene is listed as an original cosponsor.

DelBene took concrete legislative action to expand affordable rental housing for extremely low-income households, but the bill remained introduced and not enacted.

The introduced text says Gomez introduced H.R. 3964 for himself and DelBene. The bill would amend Internal Revenue Code section 42 to increase eligible basis to 150 percent for qualifying housing credit projects with units designated for households at or below 30 percent of area median income or the federal poverty line.

The official bill text shows the policy mechanism DelBene backed: a targeted Low-Income Housing Tax Credit boost for deeply affordable housing. It remains partial because the text was introduced, not enacted.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 2725, the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025, as a bill to reform the low-income housing credit. Rep. DelBene is listed as an original cosponsor on April 8, 2025, and the bill was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

DelBene co-backed a broader affordable housing tax-credit reform bill in the same term. Its lack of enactment keeps the commitment at partial progress rather than delivered.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

DelBene has materially pursued the promise through federal legislative action in the same term: voting for the House vehicle advancing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and cosponsoring or introducing housing-related bills including LIHTC reforms and deeply affordable housing tax-credit expansion. The evidence shows concrete policy pursuit tied to affordable housing and homelessness-adjacent affordability goals, but no final enacted federal outcome delivering the promised access expansion is shown. Because these are serious legislative attempts without completed enactment, this warrants partial credit with an effort badge rather than full delivery.
