Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Schmidt promised during his 2022 Kansas gubernatorial campaign that he would sign a parents' bill of rights if elected governor. The relevant Kansas Parents' Bill of Rights legislation, SB 58, was vetoed and the House override failed on April 28, 2022, so it did not become law. Because the promised outcome was not delivered, but there was a serious legislative attempt to enact the policy, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
