“Cut the regulatory red tape that stalls infrastructure projects so Valley projects get built instead of sitting on the drawing board (e.g., the Build Now Act to streamline interagency permitting).”

Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
All three primary sources verified live on gray.house.gov. Rep. Gray personally introduced the Build Now Act (explicitly named in the promise) as part of his End the California Water Crisis Package, creating a one-year enforceable timeline for environmental reviews on Central Valley water storage projects. He also led the bipartisan CERTAIN Act (April 16, 2026) and introduced the bipartisan CURRENT Act (July 22, 2026, with Rep. Rouzer) to modernize federal permitting. None enacted yet, but sustained sponsor-level leadership across multiple bipartisan permitting-reform bills clearly exceeds a single supporting vote and meets the CHAMPIONED bar. Nonpartisan check: a Republican with an identical record of naming and introducing a red-tape-cutting bill plus leading two bipartisan permitting bills would receive the same CHAMPIONED label.
