The promise was to continue advocating for more funding for water supply protection and Everglades restoration. The evidence shows Frankel did continue that advocacy in her current term: she submitted FY2026 community project funding requests for water-quality and habitat-restoration projects, and the Congressional Record reflects her requested appropriations items. There is also broader committee-level evidence that Congress continued supporting Everglades restoration funding in FY2026. However, the record here does not clearly show that Frankel herself secured a specific new enacted funding increase attributable to this promise within the review window; much of the evidence is about requests, advocacy, or general continued federal support rather than a confirmed delivered outcome directly tied to her. Because the promise is framed as advocacy rather than a guaranteed appropriation, her concrete ongoing appropriations efforts merit credit, but the available evidence is not strong enough for full delivery.
