Schumer has been an outspoken advocate for stronger federal policies to fight the spread of crystal meth ... The plan includes ... increased federal funding to local law enforcement agencies for their meth prevention and apprehension programs.

An official campaign-era statement again shows Schumer advocating increased federal funding tied to meth prevention, but it does not show that the funding was ultimately delivered.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand announced $29,949,721 in funding for mental health and addiction treatment centers throughout New York State under the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic expansion grant program through SAMHSA. The funding was allocated through last year’s Consolidated Appropriations Act and will provide necessary resources for ... increasing addiction treatment participation.

This later-term appropriation shows Schumer helping secure federal addiction-treatment funding, but it is general substance-use funding rather than a meth-specific funding increase.

Public Law 109-177 created meth-related grant and treatment-related programs, including grants to reduce methamphetamine availability, grants for drug-endangered children, competitive grants addressing meth use by pregnant and parenting women offenders, and $70,000,000 for drug courts funding.

The enacted federal law established new meth-related grant and treatment funding provisions that materially match the promise to increase federal funding for meth treatment and prevention.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Schumer promised during the 2004 federal Senate campaign to increase federal funding for meth treatment and prevention. During the resulting Senate term, Congress enacted Public Law 109-177 in March 2006, which created meth-related grant and treatment/prevention funding programs, including grants aimed at reducing methamphetamine availability, drug-endangered children, and meth-related treatment needs. Schumer had also publicly advocated and pressed appropriators for increased SAMHSA and meth-focused prevention/treatment funding before enactment, so the outcome materially matches the promise and occurred in the same elected Senate term.

delivered same_term A for effort

Schumer made a concrete same-term federal effort after the 2004 Senate campaign: he publicly proposed increased meth-related treatment/prevention funding and cosponsored the 2005 Combat Meth Act. That legislation did not pass as a standalone bill, but similar provisions were enacted in March 2006 as part of Public Law 109-177, including authorizations for methamphetamine treatment grants, research/training assistance, child-related meth response grants, and precursor-monitoring prevention grants. Because the enacted federal outcome materially matched the promise and occurred while Schumer remained in the Senate term following the campaign, this counts as delivered with same_term timing, with an effort badge reflecting his direct advocacy and cosponsorship rather than sole authorship.
