I will keep working to get bills over the finish line that will leverage private investment to finance public infrastructure projects
Evidence
In his April 28, 2026 retirement statement, Webster said he would keep working to get bills over the finish line that leverage private investment to finance public infrastructure projects.
The House Clerk record shows that on April 22, 2026 Webster voted yea on the rule for floor consideration of H.R. 4690, the bill tied to infrastructure-related federal building energy standards, and the rule passed.
Assessments
The record shows Webster continued to work on the issue during his current term: he publicly reaffirmed the commitment in April 2026 and cast a procedural vote that helped advance related legislation. But the evidence provided does not show that bills specifically leveraging private investment to finance public infrastructure projects were actually passed or enacted. That supports credit for ongoing work, but not full delivery of the promised result.
Webster did continue advocating in his April 28, 2026 retirement statement and cast a supporting procedural vote on April 22, 2026, but the evidence shows only effort toward the goal, not passage of the kind of bill promised. There is no indication that legislation leveraging private investment to finance public infrastructure projects was enacted through his own action during his term, so the promise was not fulfilled.
Webster reaffirmed the promise during his current federal House term and took some relevant legislative action, including supporting a procedural rule for floor consideration of an infrastructure-related bill. However, the evidence does not show that a bill leveraging private investment to finance public infrastructure projects was enacted or otherwise delivered. Because the record supports continued advocacy and legislative effort but not fulfillment of the promised outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
