Occurrences
Evidence
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced they would lead a bipartisan, all-woman congressional delegation to Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Iceland to examine U.S. and allied Arctic security, infrastructure, and research capabilities.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee reported that Shaheen and Murkowski led the delegation to Iqaluit, Canada for meetings with Canadian officials, Inuit leaders, and Arctic stakeholders, including briefings on Arctic infrastructure and emergency response capabilities.
Assessments
Shaheen promised to lead a bipartisan congressional delegation to the Arctic to examine U.S. and allied Arctic security, infrastructure, and research capabilities. The evidence shows she and Sen. Murkowski announced the bipartisan delegation and then actually led at least the Canada leg, with meetings and briefings on Arctic infrastructure, emergency response, and related security/stakeholder issues. Because the promised oversight activity occurred while Shaheen remained in federal office, this counts as delivered in the same term.
