Why Kept: Buckingham's 2022 campaign site and runoff coverage stated she would keep the Cenotaph in place after the prior GLO plan to relocate it. As commissioner she secured GLO ownership of the Cenotaph and announced structural investigation and restoration of the monument in place; it was not moved.

Why In progress: The 2022 campaign commitment is specific and ongoing. The GLO later highlighted border-security land actions, including work tied to state-controlled land, but this pass did not verify that wall construction is finished on all state-controlled parcels, so the rating stays in progress.
