Assessments
The promise was to seek, not necessarily secure, $2,000,000 in federal Community Project Funding for Magnolia's 1928-era water storage tank. Rep. McBride's official FY2026 Community Project Funding disclosure page lists the Town of Magnolia Water Storage Tower request at $2,000,000 and describes replacing the 1928-era tank to improve fire protection, water pressure, and service reliability. That is the promised federal CPF request made during her current House term.
