43 U.S.C. § 1301 defines state submerged lands as extending seaward three geographical miles, while recognizing Gulf of Mexico boundaries up to three marine leagues where approved or extended under the statute.

The current Submerged Lands Act framework shows the legal boundary issue the Offshore Parity Act targets, supporting that legislation expanding Gulf state boundaries is directly responsive to the commitment.

The promise was to support legislation expanding Gulf state boundaries, not necessarily to enact it. In his same federal term, Rep. Shomari Figures introduced and publicly promoted the bipartisan Offshore Parity Act, which directly sought to extend Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi offshore boundaries from three to nine nautical miles. That is sufficient candidate-credit delivery of the stated support-legislation commitment, even without evidence of enactment.

The promise was to support legislation to expand Gulf state boundaries, not necessarily to secure final enactment. In the same federal House term, Shomari Figures joined other Gulf-state representatives in introducing the Offshore Parity Act, legislation aimed at extending Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi offshore boundaries from three to nine nautical miles. That directly satisfies the promised legislative support within his current office context.
