Assessments
LaHood’s promise was to support legislation expanding specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia training and educational resources for primary care providers. The evidence shows he was an original introducing member of H.R. 3747 and spoke in support of it on the House floor, where it passed by voice vote during his current federal House term. Because the promise was framed as supporting legislation rather than securing final enactment into law, this counts as delivered in the same term.
