Evidence

The official McBride House site navigation lists Services, Project Funding Disclosures, Funding Requests FY26, and Funding Requests FY27.

McBride’s official House site maintains public Community Project Funding disclosure pages for FY26 and FY27, consistent with taking CPF-request action during her House term. The accessible navigation alone does not verify the specific Laurel sewer-lift-station request.

The House Appropriations Committee states that FY26 CPF requests must be publicly posted by members and separately lists projects included in House bills. This supports treating McBride’s public CPF disclosures as the official place to verify whether she sought the project.

The committee’s enacted FY26 page identifies the enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 and links the THUD Community Project Funding list used to check whether the Laurel project received enacted CPF.

The official FY26 THUD CPF table lists McBride-backed Delaware projects included in the House/enacted funding materials, but it does not list a Laurel sewer lift station, $249,544, or a 36-unit workforce-housing sewer project.

For FY27, the committee again says member requests must be posted on member websites and notes the consolidated request table was still forthcoming, so the committee page does not itself verify the specific Laurel request as of July 1, 2026.

The official FY27 THUD table of projects included in House bills lists McBride-backed Delaware projects, but not the Laurel sewer lift station or the $249,544 workforce-housing sewer project. This supports that the specific project had not been included in the House THUD bill by the available official table.

The promise was to seek, not necessarily secure or enact, $249,544 in federal Community Project Funding for the Laurel Sewer Lift Station. McBride's official FY2026 Community Project Funding disclosures list "Laurel Sewer Lift Station" with an amount of $249,544 and describe installing a sewer lift station to enable 36 workforce housing units in Laurel, Delaware. That is direct evidence she made the requested CPF request during her House term, even though later appropriations tables do not show the project as included or enacted.
