Evidence

Congress.gov shows H.R.6929 was introduced on 2024-01-10, referred to House Appropriations the same day, and still has status Introduced. The bill text says it would extend and provide FY2024 funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, and Nikki Budzinski is listed among the cosponsors.

Concrete effort to restart or extend ACP, but the bill stalled at introduction and did not become law.

The current official office homepage shows June 2026 posts about labor, Head Start, veterans, and postal issues; no ACP or broadband action appears in the visible update stream.

Recent office activity does not show a revived ACP push in the last lookback window.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Budzinski took a real legislative step toward the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 6929, the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act of 2024, on January 10, 2024. But the bill stalled after introduction, did not become law, and the ACP still ended in June 2024 rather than being restarted. There is no strong evidence by June 22, 2026 that she later secured a restart or materially advanced a successful revival, so this is a serious attempt without delivery.
