Evidence

President Trump signed a $1.2tn appropriations measure after the House approved it 217-214, ending the partial shutdown and funding most agencies through September; the remaining DHS piece was only temporary pending later action.

The main FY2026 funding package moved through and was signed, showing the appropriations push reached the finish line in this term.

Congress.gov lists H.R.7148 as becoming Public Law No. 119-75 on 02/03/2026. The CRS summary says it provides FY2026 appropriations for the remainder of FY2026 and includes five of the twelve regular FY2026 appropriations bills, including Labor-HHS-Education, Transportation-HUD, Financial Services-General Government, State-Foreign Operations, and Defense.

The major remaining FY2026 appropriations package containing several regular appropriations bills was enacted in Hoyer's 2025-2026 House term.

The enacted bill text repeatedly references amounts made available for Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending, including tables in the explanatory statement for Labor-HHS-Education and Transportation-HUD accounts.

H.R.7148 did not merely fund agencies generally; its text incorporated Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending allocations in the appropriations divisions relevant to the claim.

Congress.gov lists H.R.5371 as becoming Public Law No. 119-37 on 11/12/2025. The CRS summary says the act provided appropriations through the end of FY2026 for agriculture, military construction and veterans affairs, and legislative branch programs.

The FY2026 appropriations process had already enacted three full-year appropriations bills before the later January and February packages finished the remaining bills with community project funding.

Assessments

The FY2026 appropriations bills relevant to the promise were enacted during Hoyer's 2025-2026 House term, including packages that incorporated Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending allocations. Hoyer was still in federal office and voted yes on the House passage votes for the enacted packages, so the promised outcome reached enactment with direct same-term participation.

The remaining FY2026 appropriations work described in the claim appears to have been completed during the same term: the broader funding package advanced and was signed, and the last outstanding FY2026 funding issue was resolved by April 30. That matches the promise to keep working until the district’s community project funding was across the finish line. Candidate-specific attribution is not explicit in the evidence, but the outcome itself was achieved in-term.
