Assessments
McBride materially advanced the promised Community Project Funding request during her 2025-2027 House term: the final FY2026 Interior CPF/CDS table lists her as the House requestor for the Town of Smyrna well and water treatment plant project, and she voted for the appropriations bill that became Public Law 119-74. However, the enacted listed amount was $1,092,000, not the promised $4,810,324, so the specific funding amount was not fully delivered.
