Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

Mackenzie announced the FY2027 Community Project Funding process and said all projects submitted to the House Appropriations Committee would be publicly disclosed on his website. The criteria included federal nexus, community support, one-year funding, and eligibility restrictions including no for-profit recipients.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete same-term action toward transparency for Mackenzie’s own grant-like Community Project Funding requests, but it does not show he enacted or secured a broader legal requirement for grant-funding transparency to prevent conflicts of interest.

The official disclosure page lists FY2027 and FY2026 Community Funding Project requests with project name, request amount, intended recipient, address, description, and a signed financial disclosure letter for each listed project.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The page provides public disclosure of Mackenzie’s requested projects and conflict-of-interest certifications, which partially satisfies the transparency/conflict-prevention promise for his own requests. No evidence found in the lookback window that a broader grant-funding transparency requirement was delivered.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Mackenzie took same-term action by publicly disclosing his own Community Project Funding requests, including recipients, amounts, project details, and financial disclosure letters addressing conflicts of interest. That materially advances transparency for his own grant-like requests, but the evidence does not show that he enacted or secured a broader federal requirement for grant funding transparency to prevent conflicts of interest. Therefore the promise is only partially fulfilled.
