Evidence

Congress enacted Public Law 119-74, the FY 2026 appropriations act covering Energy and Water and related agencies.

This is the enacted federal spending vehicle that carried the relevant appropriations cycle; the law text itself does not name Galveston, so it is only indirect support for the claim.

Coverage of the appropriations package said it included nearly $18 million to dredge Galveston Harbor/Galveston Ship Channel and $5 million for the Coastal Texas Project.

This shows the federal funding to deepen the Galveston Ship Channel was secured in the January 2026 appropriations package, but it does not by itself prove Susie Lee took the action.

Assessments

partial same_term

Federal funding for deepening the Galveston Ship Channel appears to have been included in the FY 2026 appropriations package enacted during Susie Lee's term, so the promised policy outcome occurred on a same-term timeline. But the record provided does not show that Lee specifically wrote, sponsored, requested, voted for, or materially advanced that Galveston funding item. Given the lack of candidate-specific contribution and the apparent role of broader congressional appropriations and Texas-focused advocates, this supports only partial credit rather than full delivery.
