Occurrences

my Local Law Enforcement Support Act will give state and local police departments greater flexibility to use these funds in the way they know best, including training and recruitment, better protective equipment for officers, expanded availability of forensic technologies, and enhanced services to victims of violent crime.

Wagner says her bill will let police departments use funding more flexibly for training, recruitment, equipment, forensic tools, and victim services.

Evidence

The official press-release list shows that on April 29, 2026, Wagner introduced the Local Law Enforcement Support Act with Rep. John Rutherford.

This is the clearest recent official action tied to the pledge. Wagner publicly introduced legislation explicitly framed as supporting local police in the current Congress, which is consistent with the promise to back legislation that gives state and local departments more flexibility. The accessible official listing does not include the bill text or the specific funding categories, so this supports the pledge only partially rather than proving every detail of the claim.

partial same_term A for effort

The promise was to support legislation, and Wagner materially did that by co-introducing the Local Law Enforcement Support Act on April 29, 2026 while serving in office. That is clear same-term action in line with the pledge. However, the provided evidence does not verify that the bill specifically delivered all of the promised funding flexibilities and categories listed in the claim, so the record supports partial rather than full delivery.
