Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term

The FY2026 appropriations law enacted during Womack's term included $5,000,000 for the Office for Multimodal Freight Infrastructure and Policy, which aligns with the office named in the promise. That supports some credit for progress in the promised direction. But the record provided does not show the prior funding level needed to confirm this was an actual increase, does not demonstrate the promised DOJ/DHS cargo-theft coordination outcome, and does not specifically show Womack personally drove the enacted line item beyond his general role as a sitting member of Congress. That supports partial rather than full delivery.
