Occurrences
Evidence
The official House site says McBride represents Delaware and lists Project Funding Disclosures with Funding Requests FY26 and FY27 pages.
The committee page says FY2026 projects were requested and that members must post every CPF request online; it links the THUD posted and updated tables.
The House THUD CPF table lists: DE, Wilmington Riverwalk Extension Shared-Use Path, $250,000, McBride.
The updated FY26 THUD CPF/CDS table lists Wilmington Riverwalk Extension Shared-Use Path, DE, $250,000, McBride and Blunt Rochester, origination H.
Public Law 119-75 is the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 and includes Division D for Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations.
The FY27 page lists projects included in FY2027 House bills and links the THUD posted and final CPF tables.
The FY27 THUD CPF table lists McBride projects including Safety Upgrades to Discount Land Road and several HUD projects, but not the Wilmington Riverwalk project.
Assessments
McBride materially advanced the exact Wilmington Riverwalk Extension shared-use path through the FY2026 federal Community Project Funding process, and the enacted FY2026 THUD CPF table shows $250,000 for the project with McBride credited. However, the promise specified seeking $12,500,000, and the available enacted outcome is far below that amount; FY2027 records do not establish later full funding. This supports partial fulfillment in the same congressional term, with clear effort credit.
