Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. McBride's official FY27 Community Project Funding disclosure page listed a $7,061,000 request for the State of Delaware to consolidate Delaware Skills Center and New Castle County Vo-Tech adult workforce training programs into a permanent state-owned facility.
The official McBride House website navigation includes Services > Project Funding Disclosures, with links for Funding Requests FY26 and Funding Requests FY27.
Projects Requested in the Fiscal Year 2027 Bills. Members are required to post every Community Project Funding request online. Links to those public requests are available on their websites. Projects Included in the Fiscal Year 2027 House Bills include Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.
The FY2027 House committee report contains a Community Project Funding table with columns for Agency, Account, Project, House Amount, and House Requestor(s); it lists 'State of Delaware for facilities and equipment' with a House amount of 250,000 and requestor 'McBride.'
Assessments
The promise was to seek a specific $7,061,000 federal Community Project Funding request, not necessarily to secure enactment of the full amount. During McBride's current House term, her official FY2027 CPF disclosure page reportedly listed the exact State of Delaware workforce-training facility request, satisfying the promised action. The later House committee table showing only a smaller included amount does not negate delivery because the claim was framed as seeking the funding.
