Assessments
The promise was to support funding, not necessarily to secure final enactment or disbursement. Simpson requested and advocated for $750,000 in Community Project Funding for the Franklin County Medical Center Long-Term Care Remodel Project, and the project was included in the FY2027 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill materials approved by the House Appropriations Committee. That is a concrete federal legislative action materially advancing the promised funding during his current House term, even though final enactment is not shown.
