Assessments

delivered same_term

This promise was to support water-system modernization and funding for local infrastructure projects, not necessarily to single-handedly enact a specific bill. The strongest evidence shows Costa, while in office, secured or helped secure more than $131 million in federal funding for San Joaquin Valley water infrastructure improvements, including major named projects. Additional committee testimony shows he was actively advancing district water priorities in Congress during the same period. Given the office context for a U.S. representative, materially helping obtain federal funding for local projects is sufficient to count this support-oriented promise as delivered in the same term.

delivered same_term A for effort

Costa was actively serving in federal office in 2026 and publicly highlighted more than $131 million in federal funding for local water infrastructure improvements, alongside committee testimony pressing district water-infrastructure priorities. That is strong evidence he materially advanced and appears to have delivered the promised modernization and funding within his current term.
