Evidence

Congressman Jim Himes and Rep. Nikema Williams announced the introduction of the Negating Neighborhood Noise Act, legislation that would allow communities that abut interstate highways to build noise barriers using federal funds.

Himes took a concrete legislative action within the lookback window by reintroducing the noise-barrier bill; this supports the promise but does not show enactment.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Himes promised to support legislation allowing communities near interstate highways to use federal funds for noise barriers. The evidence shows he introduced the Negating Neighborhood Noise Act in Congress to do exactly that. Because the promise was framed as supporting legislation rather than securing enactment, this counts as delivered in the same federal term based on his direct legislative action.
