Congressman Rob Menendez joined state and federal New Jersey officials over President Trump's withholding of federal funds for the Gateway Tunnel Project. Menendez said he would work with New Jersey officials and colleagues to restore funding. The release says the work stoppage threatened jobs and infrastructure, and quoted supply-chain harm from prolonged stoppage.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Latest relevant official sign found after the lookback: Menendez took public action on a federal infrastructure funding blockage tied to the Gateway Tunnel, a project framed as economically and supply-chain significant, but the funds/work remained blocked at that point.

Menendez promised to work toward federal supply-chain solutions, a broad effort-oriented federal pledge. During his House term, he urged the Federal Railroad Administration to fund the Point-No-Point Bridge Replacement Project, and USDOT/FRA awarded $59.1 million in September 2023. The project was explicitly aimed at removing a freight rail bottleneck, lowering shipping costs, and strengthening supply chains. That is a concrete federal action with direct candidate advocacy, so it counts as delivered in the same term.
