I urge you and your colleagues to include language in this year’s NDAA highlighting these two essential projects and include these projects in these lists.
Advocate for federal funding and NDAA language to support a new Pass & Tag Facility and a replacement Fire Station Training Facility at Naval Air Station Kingsville.
Occurrences
urged Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao to include two pressing infrastructure projects at Naval Air Station (NAS) Kingsville in the Navy’s 2027 Unfunded Priority List (UPL) request to Congress
Evidence
Gonzalez urged the Navy to add two NAS Kingsville projects to its 2027 Unfunded Priority List request to Congress: a new pass & tag facility and replacement of the current fire station.
Assessments
The promise was to advocate for federal funding and NDAA language for two NAS Kingsville facilities. The available record shows Gonzalez did take a concrete federal advocacy step in office by urging the Navy to place both projects on its fiscal 2027 Unfunded Priority List request to Congress. That supports real movement on the funding-advocacy part of the promise. But the evidence provided does not show that NDAA language was secured or that funding was enacted, so full delivery of the combined promise is not established.
