Taxpayer-funded infrastructure should be reliable cost effective, and built to work. These federal buildings should not be expensive ecosystems for a radical left-wing energy agenda. We should be building infrastructure that performs, not infrastructure designed to satisfy activists.

Evidence
The official press releases index shows a June 9, 2026 item as the newest release and the MINT Act announcement only as a Feb. 26, 2026 item on the current page.
McClain and bipartisan colleagues in both chambers introduced the Municipal Investment and Neighborhood Transformation (MINT) Act to expand low-cost financing for local projects.
On February 26, 2026, McClain's office said she and Rep. Sam Liccardo, along with Sens. Todd Young and Catherine Cortez Masto, introduced the bipartisan MINT Act. The release says the bill would restore and make permanent FHLBank support for tax-exempt municipal bonds used for water systems, sewer upgrades, hospitals, and schools.
Assessments
As of June 12, 2026, the record shows McClain did take a concrete bipartisan, bicameral step toward the promise: on February 26, 2026, she and colleagues in both parties and both chambers introduced the MINT Act. That materially satisfies the collaboration/advocacy part of the pledge, but the available evidence does not show that the bill passed either chamber or became law. With introduction and coalition-building established but passage not established, the promise is best scored as partial rather than delivered or never.
McClain and bipartisan colleagues in both chambers introduced the MINT Act, which satisfies the collaboration and bill-advancement part of the promise, but the record provided shows introduction only and no passage or enactment. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
