Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Frankel has actively tried to protect Social Security during her federal House term by cosponsoring or introducing bills such as the Social Security Expansion Act, Claws Off Social Security Act, and Boosting Benefits and COLAs for Seniors Act, and by opposing measures she said threatened Social Security. However, the evidence shows introduction, referral, public advocacy, and votes rather than enactment or a completed federal protection outcome. Because there was serious legislative effort but no delivered promised result, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.

never unknown A for effort

Frankel made active same-term efforts to protect Social Security, including introducing or cosponsoring bills and opposing measures she said would expose Social Security to cuts. However, the evidence shows legislative activity and public opposition only, not enactment or a concrete delivered protection outcome. Under the rule for serious attempts that fail to deliver the promised outcome, this should be marked never with an effort badge.
