Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Mark Alford as Representative for House Missouri, District 4, 118th-119th (2023-Present). It lists Member Activity including Sponsored Legislation [43], Cosponsored Legislation (All) [324], Amendments (H.Amdt. or S.Amdt.) [1], and Became Law [7].
The Clerk lists Mark Alford, Missouri (MO) - 4th, Republican, with oath of office Jan. 03, 2025. Committee assignments include Committee on Appropriations and the Subcommittee on National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs.
Alford's official release says he secured nearly $23,000,000 in targeted federal investments for Missouri's Fourth District and lists Community Project Funding items. It also states he serves on Appropriations subcommittees including National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs.
Assessments
The record shows Alford has relevant Appropriations and State/foreign assistance committee roles, but no identified enacted bill, amendment, appropriations rider, or executive action credited to him that strengthened domestic procurement requirements for foreign assistance or made more aid Made in America. The cited district funding and committee membership are not the promised policy outcome, and there is not enough evidence of a serious failed legislative attempt to award an effort badge.
