The homepage's featured news is dominated by June 16, June 11, and June 10 items about district funding, Kansas City World Cup work, and a homeland security funding bill; it does not show a recent FBI-relocation action.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Recent official homepage activity in the lookback window is about general appropriations and Kansas City priorities, not a concrete step toward moving FBI personnel from Washington, D.C. to Kansas City. This leaves the promise unresolved.

Alford serves on the House Appropriations Committee and its Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies subcommittee, plus National Security, State, and Related Programs.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is relevant because those assignments give him some jurisdictional proximity to FBI funding, but the page does not show any specific action on relocating FBI agents or personnel to Kansas City. The commitment remains unresolved.

The FBI lists its headquarters contact as 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20535-0001, and says headquarters personnel direct and coordinate FBI activities worldwide. Other headquarters functions are listed in Clarksburg, West Virginia; Quantico, Virginia; and other locations, not Kansas City.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the current FBI page, the bureau's headquarters presence is still identified in Washington, D.C., with non-Kansas City specialized locations. This does not show relocation of D.C. personnel to the Kansas City field office.

The FBI Kansas City page lists the field office at 11180 NW Prairie View Road, Kansas City, Missouri 64153, with territory covering Kansas and Western Missouri and a Special Agent in Charge. It does not describe newly relocated Washington, D.C. agents or personnel.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The Kansas City field office exists and serves Kansas and western Missouri, but the official page provides no evidence that Alford delivered or secured relocation of FBI personnel from Washington, D.C. to that office.

Public Law 118-47 includes a GSA construction and acquisition item for the National Capital Region: Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Consolidation, $200,000,000. The GovInfo PDF has no matching text for Kansas City.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The enacted 2024 funding law funded FBI headquarters consolidation in the National Capital Region, not relocation of D.C. FBI personnel to Kansas City. This weighs against delivery of the Kansas City-specific promise.

The introduced House CJS bill provided FBI salaries and expenses and $30,000,000 for construction, with that amount for a second DNA laboratory. It also said prior FBI construction balances for a new headquarters may only sustain use of the J. Edgar Hoover headquarters building. The PDF has no matching text for Kansas City or relocation.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A relevant DOJ/FBI appropriations bill did not contain the promised Kansas City relocation and instead restricted prior headquarters funds to sustaining the existing Hoover headquarters. It was introduced by Harold Rogers, not Alford.

Alford's press release index lists recent 2026 actions on B-21 expansion, appropriations bills, housing legislation, nuclear triad security, SBA in Kansas City, NextGen TV, agriculture, and World Cup security funding. The visible current page does not show an FBI relocation action.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Recent official communications show activity on other district and federal priorities, including Kansas City security funding for the World Cup, but not a concrete FBI personnel relocation effort. This leaves the promise unsupported by the member's recent official record.

The Guardian reported that FBI Director Kash Patel said the Hoover building would close and that some FBI workers would report to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The article also reported that Maryland sued after the administration scrapped a Maryland headquarters move.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Later reporting on the FBI headquarters relocation describes movement to another Washington, D.C. federal building, not to the Kansas City field office. This weighs against treating the Kansas City-specific promise as delivered.
