Occurrences
Evidence
Action: Ms. Brown (for herself, Ms. Matsui, Mr. Thompson of California, Ms. Norton, Mrs. Sykes, and Ms. Titus) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Agriculture. Cosponsors include Mike Thompson (CA). Full title: To amend the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 to provide States and communities with additional assistance to plant and maintain trees, and for other purposes.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation, not to ensure final enactment. Mike Thompson is documented as a cosponsor of H.R. 8474, the Neighborhood Tree Act of 2026, whose title and purpose directly match the commitment to provide states and communities additional assistance to plant and maintain trees. Because he materially supported the relevant bill while in office during the covered term, the promise counts as delivered in the same term.
Mike Thompson is named as a cosponsor on a bill whose title and text closely match the promise to provide states and communities additional assistance to plant and maintain trees. That is direct legislative support during his current term, even though the bill was only introduced and referred at this stage.
Thompson fulfilled the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 8474, the Neighborhood Tree Act of 2026, which directly matches the commitment to support legislation providing states and communities additional assistance to plant and maintain trees. Because the promise was to support legislation rather than secure enactment, introduction and cosponsorship of the matching federal bill is sufficient for delivery in the same term.
