Evidence

House release says Stansbury and Heinrich introduced a bill to boost college success on June 16, 2026.

This is a current-term education-focused legislative action. It is not a direct BIE or tribal-school funding action, but it shows Stansbury remained active on the education side of the broader promise during the lookback window.

The FY27 guidance page invites Interior and Labor-HHS-Education programmatic and language requests.

This is an active appropriations process page that would be used to pursue tribal and BIE-related funding. It supports ongoing effort, but by itself does not prove a funding outcome.

The funding page includes a Mescalero Apache Tribe Head Start facility and Middle Rio Grande Pueblos irrigation infrastructure.

Her current funding-request archive shows direct support for Native communities, including an education-related tribal project. It is adjacent to the claim, but it is not specific evidence of BIE school funding.

The promise is framed as an ongoing advocacy commitment rather than a discrete funding enactment. The evidence shows Stansbury continued using her office to pursue appropriations and funding requests relevant to Tribal and BIE-related needs, including Interior and Labor-HHS-Education appropriations channels and community project requests benefiting Native communities. While the record here does not clearly prove a completed BIE school funding increase, it does show she continued the promised fight during her current term, which is the core action pledged.
