Evidence

The June 4, 2026 press release says Moolenaar is committed to working with local leaders to secure federal funding for projects.

Recent official language shows same-term effort with local stakeholders on federal project funding, but it does not specifically mention the Soo Locks replacement lock.

The USACE info sheet says a new Soo Locks replacement lock is under construction and was slated for completion by 2030, with Phase One of the Sabin replacement underway.

Federal project documentation confirms the replacement lock remained an active construction project, so the promise was not yet fully complete.

Assessments

partial same_term

The available record supports that the Soo Locks replacement project moved forward and was under construction during Moolenaar’s time in office, so there was real progress toward the promised objective. But the evidence here does not specifically show that Moolenaar himself wrote, sponsored, or materially drove the replacement-lock outcome beyond general statements about working with local leaders to secure federal funding. Because the project was still not complete and candidate-specific credit is limited, this is better scored as partial rather than delivered.
