Assessments
The promise was to secure federal funding for the Sacramento Stitch Park Riverfront Reconnection Project. The evidence shows the exact project received $3.15 million through Community Project Funding, with Matsui identified as the requester in the Congressional Record, and the funding was enacted in Public Law 119-75 during her current House term. This directly satisfies the promised federal funding outcome and gives Matsui candidate credit for securing it.
Official congressional and office materials indicate Doris O. Matsui requested the funding in FY26 and later announced that more than $3 million in federal Community Project Funding was secured for the Sacramento Stitch Park Riverfront Reconnection Project, which satisfies the promise in her current term.
