In federal legislative context, a House member gets credit for supporting and helping advance spending bills rather than single-handedly controlling the final outcome. The evidence shows Ellzey, while in office, backed FY26 defense legislation and appropriations that included major military technology and research-related investments such as hypersonics, AI, drones, quantum computing, and space systems. That is a direct match to a promise to continue funding military research and development to keep U.S. forces ahead of adversaries. Because the relevant funding actions occurred during his current term, this is best scored as same-term delivery.
