Assessments
The verified commitment was an action to urge VA and DOD to restore and expand access to needed health care, including gender-affirming care. Verified evidence shows Ms. Randall submitted the resolution, and the resolution itself contains the urging language matching the commitment. This proves material candidate contribution to the promised action in the same term; it does not require proof that VA or DOD changed policy because the judged commitment is to urge, not to enact the underlying outcome.
