I am requesting funding for the Delano Water Plant No. 2 Blending Tank Project in fiscal year 2027.

Valadao requests FY2027 funding for a water infrastructure project that would add potable water capacity and improve resiliency for Delano's water system.

Evidence

"After nearly a year of work, I'm proud to announce California will receive $540 million to support critical storage and conveyance projects across the state... These funds... will restore capacity, strengthen reliability, and improve our ability to capture and deliver water supplies. I appreciate the Trump Administration's efforts to ensure these resources reach the communities that need them most, and I look forward to continuing to work together to deliver a stable and secure water supply for California's 22nd Congressional District."

Valadao publicly claimed credit for a $540 million water-infrastructure funding commitment and said he would continue working with partners to deliver a stable and secure water supply for CA-22, but this is an announcement of intent and funding effort rather than proof of completed delivery to the district.

"On Tuesday, I met with the Executive Director of Tri-County Water Authority, Deanna Jackson, to speak about challenges our communities face complying with Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requirements. Solving California's groundwater management challenges is one of my top priorities, and I'll continue working alongside my Congressional colleagues and local water authorities to enact long-term legislative solutions." The same newsletter also says he met with the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority to discuss water supplies and key water improvement projects.

Recent constituent outreach and coordination with local water authorities shows Valadao is still actively working on water policy in the current term, but it does not prove a completed, durable water-supply delivery outcome for CA-22.

Valadao said the 2026 Farm Bill "delivers real wins for the Central Valley" and includes "Reauthorizing USDA Rural Development water infrastructure programs that support clean drinking water, wastewater systems, solid waste disposal, and stormwater management in rural communities."

This is a concrete pro-water legislative action in the current term, but it is only a reauthorization/supporting step and not proof that stable, secure water supply has already been delivered to the district.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Valadao has taken current-term federal actions consistent with the promise, including supporting Farm Bill water infrastructure reauthorizations, claiming work behind a $540 million California water infrastructure funding commitment, and coordinating with local water authorities on groundwater and supply issues. However, the evidence shows funding, advocacy, reauthorization, and coordination rather than a completed stable and secure water supply delivered for California's 22nd District. Because the promise is outcome-oriented but current evidence mainly supports material effort and incremental advancement, partial credit is appropriate.
