Evidence

The 2026 Congressional App Challenge page says members have already begun signing up to host, and CA10 is listed as Mark DeSaulnier with a checkmark.

Official CAC participation list shows Mark DeSaulnier's district signed up for the 2026 challenge, which is a concrete step toward hosting but not proof the event has finished.

The page states the 2026 challenge runs from May 1 to October 26, 2026, so the hosting commitment is still in progress as of the lookback window.

The challenge is still ongoing, so the promise is not fully complete yet even though the office is already participating.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Official Congressional App Challenge participation records show Mark DeSaulnier's CA-10 district is signed up to host the 2026 challenge, so he has materially advanced the commitment. However, the 2026 challenge window is still ongoing, so the promised hosting outcome is not yet fully completed.
