Bilirakis made a concrete federal legislative effort toward the privacy-adjacent promise by unveiling the Kids Online Safety Act and holding a relevant subcommittee role covering privacy and data security. The evidence does not show that a privacy protection measure he wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced was enacted or otherwise fully implemented during the relevant term. Because the promised outcome is broad and the record shows serious action but not completion, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
