I am committed to working with them to get this funding passed through that chamber and enacted into law so we can deliver this funding directly to our cities and towns.
Work with the Senate to pass and enact the FY2026 community project funding package for North Jersey.
Occurrences
Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09) announced that the 2026 government spending bill package enacted this week included $14,494,000 for 15 separate community projects in the Ninth Congressional District championed by Pou.
Evidence
Pou said the House-passed FY2026 spending package included $9,711,000 for 11 community projects in NJ-09 and stated the funding still needed Senate ratification before enactment.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 7148 as having become Public Law No. 119-75 on 2026-02-03, confirming enactment of the FY2026 consolidated appropriations package.
Pou announced the enacted FY2026 government funding package included $14,494,000 for 15 more NJ-09 community projects and said that, with these enactments, she had secured $24,205,000 for 26 North Jersey projects.
Assessments
The promised outcome occurred while Pou was serving in federal office. The FY2026 appropriations package was enacted as Public Law 119-75 on February 3, 2026, and Pou publicly tied that enacted package to $14.494 million for 15 additional NJ-09 community projects, stating the enactments brought her total secured funding to $24.205 million for 26 North Jersey projects. Earlier evidence also shows she had already advanced the request through the House and was awaiting Senate action, which aligns with the promise to work with the Senate to pass and enact the package. Because the funding package was enacted and Pou is directly credited with securing the included district projects, this is best scored as delivered in the same term.
The promise was to work with the Senate to pass and enact the FY2026 community project funding package for North Jersey. The evidence shows the FY2026 consolidated appropriations package became Public Law No. 119-75 on 2026-02-03 while Pou was serving in federal office, and Pou announced that the enacted package included $14.494 million for 15 additional NJ-09 projects, bringing total secured North Jersey community project funding to $24.205 million for 26 projects. Earlier evidence also shows she materially advanced the package through the House before Senate action. This satisfies the promised enacted outcome in the same term.
