DelBene and Schrier led colleagues demanding DOE reverse termination of Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub funding.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

DelBene has delivered policy action within the federal office context: she sponsored the National Landslide Preparedness Act, which became Public Law 116-323, addressing landslide and disaster preparedness risks relevant to the Pacific Northwest. She also voted for final House passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, a major enacted climate law with documented clean energy, resilience, wildfire, and pollution-reduction benefits for Washington. More recent bills and funding announcements show continued same-office climate and resilience efforts, though several are not enacted. Because the promise was broad, enacted climate/resilience policy action is enough for delivery, with effort credit also warranted for continued legislative attempts.
