Assessments
Harder materially advanced the promise in the current federal term by chairing the bipartisan Build America Caucus around the same housing, energy, infrastructure, and red-tape agenda, and by supporting House-passed bipartisan housing/regulatory bills. The record shows concrete progress on the homes and red-tape portions, with some evidence of later final passage for housing-related provisions, but the supplied evidence does not establish that the full promised package, including affordable energy and faster infrastructure, was enacted into law. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
