Evidence

Fong’s office said he voted to pass H.R. 6938, the FY2026 Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior appropriations package, describing it as advancing national security and energy-related priorities.

This is a direct official record that Fong supported a funding bill in the same term; the underlying appropriations package included NNSA weapons activities and Naval Reactors accounts that fund nuclear stockpile stewardship and naval nuclear propulsion.

The bill text appropriated $20.378 billion for NNSA Weapons Activities and $2.134 billion for Naval Reactors.

This bill is the concrete appropriations vehicle behind Fong’s January 8 vote and directly funds the nuclear weapons stockpile enterprise and the Navy’s nuclear propulsion program.

Fong’s appropriations page says he voted to pass H.R. 4553, the FY2026 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026.

This is an earlier same-term affirmative appropriations vote on a bill that included the nuclear modernization accounts relevant to the pledge.

The Energy and Water bill set $20.662 billion for NNSA Weapons Activities and $2.171 billion for Naval Reactors.

This is the underlying appropriations text that matches the pledge’s two core policy targets: modernizing the nuclear stockpile and supporting the Navy’s nuclear fleet.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to support appropriations for nuclear stockpile modernization and the Navy’s nuclear fleet, not necessarily to personally author or enact them. In his current federal term, Vince Fong voted for FY2026 appropriations measures including H.R. 4553 and H.R. 6938, and those bills explicitly funded NNSA Weapons Activities and Naval Reactors, which are the core accounts tied to the pledge. Because the claim is framed as support for appropriations and the evidence shows same-term affirmative votes on the relevant funding bills, this is best scored as delivered.
