We must deepen the Galveston ship channel.
Will support federal funding to deepen the Galveston Ship Channel.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress enacted Public Law 119-74, the FY 2026 appropriations act covering Energy and Water and related agencies.
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.
Assessments
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.
