Evidence
Today, U.S. Representative Juan Vargas (D-CA-52) announced that he is leading a funding request for $100 million for the U.S.-Mexico Border Water Infrastructure Program (BWIP) in the Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations process.
Rep. Vargas is currently accepting community project funding, programmatic, and language requests for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2027 (FY 2027) budget.
Assessments
The promise was to lead a request for $100 million for the U.S.-Mexico Border Water Infrastructure Program in the FY2027 appropriations process, not necessarily to secure final enactment of the funding. The provided official congressional evidence states that Rep. Juan Vargas led that exact FY2027 $100 million BWIP funding request while serving in the relevant federal office, so the promised action was completed in the same term.
