Assessments
Mullin materially supported the promised policy area by introducing the REACT Act in September 2025 and by seeking FY2027 appropriations for FEMA emergency-alert funding, including training, exercises, and public education for state and local governments. But the REACT Act had not become law, and the FY2027 funding request was not shown as enacted. Existing FEMA warning-system grants do not establish that Mullin delivered the promised federal funding and support through his own successful action. This is a serious same-office effort, but not a delivered outcome.
