Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term

Watson Coleman was serving in the House during the relevant 114th Congress votes. She voted yea on final House passage for H.R. 240, which funded DHS for FY2015 and became Public Law 114-4, and voted yea on H.R. 2029, the FY2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which became Public Law 114-113 and provided appropriations for the federal government through FY2016. Because the promised vote and resulting government funding occurred during her same House term, this counts as delivered.
