McGovern secured the money through the FY2026 appropriations process, partnering with community stakeholders and local officials to develop strong projects.
I will secure federal funding for community projects in Massachusetts's 2nd Congressional District.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official House release says McGovern announced $12,101,000 in federal funding awarded to local projects throughout Massachusetts' Second Congressional District and says he secured the money through the FY2026 appropriations process.
McGovern's district site says he submitted FY2027 funding requests for important community projects in Massachusetts' Second District and notes that only some requests may ultimately be funded.
Assessments
The promise was fulfilled. An official House release dated March 11, 2026 states that James P. McGovern announced $12,101,000 in federal funding awarded to local projects throughout Massachusetts's 2nd Congressional District and explicitly says he secured the money through the FY2026 appropriations process. That is direct evidence he obtained federal funding for community projects in his district while serving in office, which matches the substance of the promise. Separate FY2027 request materials show continued effort, but the FY2026 award is already sufficient to count the promise as delivered.
