Evidence
The FY26 appropriations requests page lists a City of Baltimore project named "911 Diversion Expansion" with a requested amount of $1,184,000. The description says the funding would support expansion of Baltimore’s 911 diversion program to include non-behavioral health call types.
The Congressional Record lists "City of Baltimore | Project 911 Diversion Expansion | Location Baltimore, MD | Conference Amount ($) 1,031,000 | Requestor(s) Mfume."
The report says MONSE continued work on expanding Baltimore’s 911 diversion efforts and that the 911 diversion expansion project was selected as one of the FY26 federal earmark requests ($1.184M) sent to committee.

Assessments
The promise was specifically to request FY26 appropriations support, not necessarily to secure final enacted funding. Mfume’s official FY26 appropriations requests page lists Baltimore’s “911 Diversion Expansion” project with a requested amount of $1,184,000, and city reporting corroborates that the project was selected as an FY26 federal earmark request sent to committee. That fulfills the requested action during his current federal term.
Mfume formally submitted a FY26 appropriations request for Baltimore’s 911 Diversion Expansion project, which satisfies the claim as written. The request appears on his FY26 appropriations requests page and was transmitted as an active earmark request in the appropriations process. A later Congressional Record entry showing a $1,031,000 conference amount indicates the project also advanced beyond the request stage, but the core promise here was the request itself, not full funding.
The promise was specifically to request FY26 appropriations for Baltimore's 911 diversion expansion project, not necessarily to secure the full amount. Mfume's FY26 appropriations requests page lists the City of Baltimore '911 Diversion Expansion' project with a $1,184,000 request, which fulfills the requested action while he was serving in the same federal House term. Later evidence that the project advanced with a lower conference amount does not reduce fulfillment of the narrower promise to request the funding.
