Evidence
Cantwell's FY2026 Energy and Water Development request list includes 'Western Washington State Section 1332 Environmental Infrastructure,' requested by U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, recipient Army Corps of Engineers, purpose 'initial evaluation and coordination' for new Environmental Infrastructure Program projects in Western Washington, amount requested $100,000.
The House Appropriations Committee said it released the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026, and linked the Energy and Water Development Community Project Funding table.
The final Energy and Water CPF/CDS table lists funded Washington Army Corps construction items including Columbia River Fish Mitigation, Howard A. Hanson Dam, The Dalles Lock and Dam, and Yakima Delta, but does not list Western Washington State Section 1332 Environmental Infrastructure or a $100,000 item for that request.
GovInfo identifies Public Law 119-74, approved January 23, 2026, as H.R. 6938, an act making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
On January 15, 2026, the Senate passed H.R. 6938 by 82-15; the roll call lists Cantwell (D-WA) as Yea.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to request $100,000 in FY2026 appropriations for initial evaluation and coordination of Western Washington Environmental Infrastructure Program projects, not necessarily to secure enacted funding. The evidence shows Cantwell submitted that exact FY2026 Energy and Water Development appropriations request while serving in the same Senate term. The later absence of the item from the final CPF/CDS funding table does not defeat fulfillment of a request-only promise.
