The Secretary of State shall submit a report ... on the Department of State capacity to strengthen performance management, regulatory review, and oversight practices to better align spending with measurable outcomes.

During consideration of the Agriculture appropriations bill, I secured key provisions that deliver for border communities and rural areas. First, I worked to secure language on outcome-based reviews, performance management, and oversight. This is about good governance and I believe it should be applied across all departments. We need to find efficiencies and savings without cutting services and this approach helps ensure taxpayer dollars produce real results.

Cuellar publicly stated on May 5 that he worked to secure outcome-based reviews, performance management, and oversight language, indicating active advancement rather than a completed, enacted policy change.

Cuellar materially advanced the promise by securing committee-print language on outcome-based reviews, performance management, and oversight during FY2027 appropriations work, and his public statement matches the promised activity. However, the evidence shows committee language and advocacy, not enactment or implementation of outcome-based reviews and oversight across departments. Because this was a serious legislative effort that had not yet delivered the promised government-wide outcome, it should be scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
