While I am disappointed the Senate did not take up the House-passed three year extension, I remain committed to working with my colleagues to reauthorize this essential program.
I remain committed to working with my colleagues to reauthorize Section 702 of FISA.
Occurrences
Evidence
I voted “Yes” on S. 4465 ... This bill extends Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for 45 days through June 12, 2026.
House floor debate on S. 1318 described the bill as making further reforms to section 702 and reauthorizing the authority for 3 years.
The House Rules Committee currently plans to take up the revised FISA 702 reform and reauthorization language on Monday.
Assessments
The promise was to work toward reauthorizing Section 702 of FISA. Evidence shows Tenney took a concrete supportive action in her current term by voting yes on S. 4465, a short-term 45-day extension of Section 702, which is meaningful progress toward keeping the authority in place. However, the record provided does not establish that a full longer-term reauthorization was enacted, nor that Tenney personally secured final passage of such a reauthorization. Because there is clear effort and some substantive interim delivery, but not evidence of complete fulfillment of the broader reauthorization outcome, partial credit is the best fit.
