Evidence

Baird's official House site still shows recent legislative activity from April 2026, including an April 16 yes vote on H.R. 6398, the RED Tape Act, and an April 17 vote on H.Res. 1175 tied to H.R. 8035, along with an April 14 press release on STEM diplomacy legislation.

He remained actively engaged in federal legislation in the same term, but the visible official material does not show a specific June 15-17 action on waste, fraud, or abuse.

The Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit alleging fraud in New York's Medicaid home-care program and described the case as part of a broader federal effort to combat waste and abuse in government programs.

The anti-fraud push in federal programs was active during the lookback window, but this report does not show Baird himself taking a new public action.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

The evidence shows Baird remained active in Congress during the same term, but it does not identify a specific legislative or executive action by him that meaningfully advanced ending waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs or protecting Hoosiers' tax dollars. The DOJ fraud case is unrelated to his own conduct, so there is no basis for full delivery or partial credit.
