Evidence

Jackson said he would continue working closely with Secretary Rollins, USDA, and House Agriculture colleagues to ensure every available resource is deployed to protect livestock producers and prevent a wider outbreak; the release also directs ranchers to USDA and Texas Animal Health Commission response resources.

Direct, public continuation of the promise immediately after the first U.S. screwworm detection.

AP reported that Texas will help USDA accelerate a $750 million sterile-fly facility and that USDA had already dispersed about 130 million flies in Texas since January, with roughly 4 million more released each week by air and ground.

Shows the response is active and substantial federal-state resources are already being deployed against the outbreak.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Jackson publicly reaffirmed the promise and appears to have engaged with USDA, Texas officials, and House agriculture colleagues during the June 2026 screwworm response. The broader federal-state response was real and substantial, but the evidence ties only limited concrete action directly to Jackson himself and does not establish that he personally ensured every available resource was deployed or that the outbreak-prevention goal was fully achieved. In federal office-context terms, this supports meaningful ongoing effort in the same term, but not full delivery.
