Evidence
U.S. Senators Steve Daines and Tim Sheehy today introduced a bill to authorize construction of the Dry-Redwater rural water system.
2026. Project Purpose: To complete construct rural water mains and services. Amount Requested: $5,000,000
Assessments
The promised outcome was federal authorization of construction for the Dry-Redwater rural water system. In May 2026, during Tim Sheehy's Senate term, Sheehy joined Steve Daines in introducing Senate legislation to authorize the project, and he also submitted a related FY2026 appropriations request. However, available evidence shows introduction and funding advocacy, not enactment or final authorization. Because the candidate is still in office and the authorization bill remains pending rather than defeated, the promise is not yet delivered but remains unresolved with meaningful same-term effort.
