Evidence

The official press-release index for Representative McCormick's site shows recent items dated June 10, 2026 (NDAA markup), June 9, 2026 (oversight fraud report), and June 5, 2026 (Men's Health Conference), and the page search returned no matches for "HBCU", "historically black", or "Morehouse".

No HBCU-specific action is visible in the lookback window on McCormick's official news page; the recent activity is unrelated, so the claim remains unresolved for this window.

On January 9, 2026, McCormick announced $15,064,598 in federal community project funding in appropriations legislation, including $556,000 for Morehouse College for campus gate and locks upgrades, and said the funding would support advanced research, education, and infrastructure.

This is official evidence of securing federal resources for an HBCU through legislation, but it does not show a bill specifically expanding HBCU access to federal research funding, so it is best treated as partial support.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

McCormick has evidence of supporting appropriations legislation that directed federal resources to an HBCU during his current term, including funding for Morehouse College. That shows some concrete legislative support for HBCU resources. But the available evidence does not show he sponsored or materially advanced legislation that broadly increased HBCU access to federal research funding and resources as promised. Because there is documented but narrower HBCU-related legislative support, partial credit is the best fit.
