Evidence

The official House homepage currently links to FY27 Appropriations Requests and FY26 CPF Disclosure, indicating the office is still in appropriations-request mode.
Assessments
The evidence shows Kristen McDonald Rivet actively sought $5 million in continued funding for the Flint Registry through FY2026 Community Project Funding and continued appropriations-request work into 2026, but it does not show that the funding was actually enacted, awarded, or otherwise secured. That supports meaningful effort, but not a completed delivery of the promise.
McDonald Rivet took concrete action toward the promise by requesting $5 million in continued FY2026 funding for the Flint Registry through the appropriations process. That is meaningful federal effort, but the evidence provided does not show that the funding was actually enacted or awarded, and her office is still actively pursuing appropriations matters. On this record, there is verified effort but not verified delivery.
