Assessments
The promised outcome was to support robust Energy and Water appropriations funding for nuclear deterrent modernization. During Fleischmann's current House term, the FY2026 Energy and Water appropriations division was enacted as Public Law 119-74 with substantial NNSA Weapons Activities, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, and Naval Reactors funding, and Fleischmann voted for final House passage. His continued FY2027 committee work further supports credit, but the enacted FY2026 law is enough for full delivery.
The promise was to support robust Energy and Water appropriations for nuclear deterrent modernization. During Fleischmann's current House term, the FY2026 Energy and Water appropriations division was enacted as Public Law 119-74 with major NNSA Weapons Activities, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, and Naval Reactors funding, directly matching the promised policy area. The later FY2027 committee action further supports continued same-term advancement, but the enacted FY2026 law is enough for delivery credit.
