Assessments
Cantwell’s official FY2026 appropriations request page explicitly lists “Howard A. Hanson Dam, WA” with Maria Cantwell as the requester and states the project purpose is to fund construction of additional water storage and a fish passage facility, with an amount requested of $580,000,000. That matches the promised action exactly. The promise was to request the funding, not to secure final enactment or complete construction, so later evidence showing the project is still active does not defeat delivery of the request itself. Because she made the request while serving in office during the relevant FY2026 appropriations cycle, the timing is same_term.
