Senators continue pushing to release additional $92M in funding for remaining Colorado projects

Evidence

The senators are continuing to push USBR to release the additional $92 million. Six of the 17 projects have now been awarded a total of more than $59 million. The Shoshone Permanency Project and 10 other drought projects remain unfunded.

Official Senate release confirms the campaign is ongoing, but the remaining $92 million had not yet been released as of May 12, 2026; only part of the broader funding request had been awarded.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

As of May 12, 2026, Hickenlooper and Bennet were still pressing the Bureau of Reclamation to release the additional $92 million for remaining Colorado River crisis projects. The cited Senate release shows some related funding had been awarded, but the promised additional $92 million for the remaining Colorado projects had not yet been released. Because the promise was to continue pushing, there is clear ongoing effort in the same Senate term, but the funding outcome itself remains incomplete.
