Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Multiple pieces of evidence demonstrate that Senator McCormick co-introduced and actively supported bipartisan legislation specifically aimed at expanding internet access for Iranian civilians and combating Iran's human rights abuses. There are clear primary sources confirming introduction and advancement of relevant bills, including committee consideration. However, there is no evidence that the legislation was enacted into law or that the promised outcome was fully realized, so the pledge is only partially fulfilled. His significant legislative effort warrants the effort badge.
