Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independently verified via WebFetch on both primary sources (Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez's official House.gov press releases). Confirmed: (1) Dec 15, 2023 - $600 million Mega grant announcement quoting her: 'From Day One, it's been my mission to bring our federal tax dollars back to Southwest Washington to replace the deteriorating bridge.' (2) July 12, 2024 - $1.499 billion Bridge Investment Program award, total $2.1 billion federal funding for the project — the largest federal transportation investment in Washington state history. She actively led/advocated (not just voted), co-announcing the awards with the WA Senate delegation and publicly pressing to reduce/eliminate tolls. Full project ~$6B not fully funded and toll policy not yet set, so CHAMPIONED (actively leading), not FULL. The rating is fair under a nonpartisan standard: any member of Congress with this documented record of leading multi-billion-dollar federal grant campaigns for a named infrastructure project in their district would receive CHAMPIONED. The Columbian secondary source returned 403 on re-check but is corroborative only; the two PRIMARY House.gov press releases substantiate the outcome independently.
