"Throughout my time in Congress, I have remained steadfast in my commitment to delivering year-round, nationwide E15 for our farmers, rural economies, and consumers," said Rep. Finstad. "I am extremely proud of our work to pass this commonsense, win-win solution... I urge my Senate colleagues to do the same and quickly pass this legislation."

Finstad publicly tied the claim to House passage of H.R. 1346 and urged the Senate to complete the job, showing active legislative effort but not final completion.

The promised outcome was year-round, nationwide E15, which requires final federal authorization, not just House passage. During Finstad's current House term, H.R. 1346 passed the House on May 13, 2026, and Finstad publicly claimed work toward the measure and urged Senate passage. But the evidence shows only an engrossed House bill, with no Senate passage or enactment into law, so the nationwide year-round E15 policy has not been fully delivered. Because he materially advanced the effort through House passage, this merits partial credit and an effort badge.
