Fund research on gun violence issues.
Occurrences
Evidence
Official press releases and newsroom entries for Rep. Greg Stanton (May 2026) show recent activity (e.g., May 20–22 press items) but contain no press release, letter, or announcement (May 26–28, 2026) describing actions to secure or announce new federal funding for gun-violence research.
The explanatory statement for the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (division covering Labor/HHS/ED) lists 'Firearm Injury and Mortality Prevention Research' at $12,500,000 for FY2026 (Congressional Record, Jan. 22, 2026).
Assessments
Congress enacted targeted federal funding for firearm injury and mortality prevention research in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (explanatory statement listing $12.5M for FY2026), which fulfills the substance of the promise to fund gun-violence research during Stanton’s current term. However, available records and Stanton’s recent press releases do not attribute or document that Rep. Greg Stanton sponsored, led, or materially advanced this specific appropriation. Because the outcome occurred but there is no evidence crediting Stanton’s direct role, this is partial delivery (same-term).
