Last Action Date Listed July 21, 2026 Action Mr. Harrigan (for himself, Mr. Sorensen, and Mr. Gallagher) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Full Title To amend section 203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to establish within the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program a dedicated rural flood resilience supplemental allocation providing formula-based pass-through grants to rural communities through a set-aside from the Federal Emergency Management Agency Disaster Relief Fund, and for other purposes.
Assessments
Sorensen promised to support rural communities through service on two named House Agriculture subcommittees. The evidence confirms he held both subcommittee seats during his current House term and took concrete related actions, including sponsoring fertilizer and soil-health/agricultural research bills and voting for a House-passed ethanol/farm-market bill. Because the promise was to support rural communities in those roles rather than to secure enactment of a specific law, the confirmed subcommittee service plus relevant legislative activity satisfies the commitment in the same term.
