Evidence

The official House homepage shows Carter's latest posted news on June 9, 2026, and those items are about ICE/Border Patrol funding, a floor speech, and FEMA flood-prevention funding; it does not show any forestry or family-forest-landowner legislation in the visible latest updates.

No concrete official sign in the lookback window that Carter advanced or announced legislation matching the forest-landowner disaster-recovery promise; the newest visible official updates are unrelated.
