Moulton made a clear federal campaign promise to ban private equity firms from buying up homes and driving up real estate costs, and his campaign agenda materially advanced the idea as a policy proposal. The provided record does not show enactment of a federal ban or equivalent binding executive action during his term, nor does it show that legislation he wrote or sponsored later became law. Because the outcome promised was a ban, not merely advocacy, the promise was not delivered. The agenda rollout qualifies as a serious policy attempt, so effort credit applies.

The promise was to ban private equity firms from buying homes and driving up real estate costs. The evidence shows Moulton campaigned on this plank and publicized it as part of an affordability agenda, but it does not show that such a federal ban was enacted. Available information also does not show Moulton delivering the promised legal prohibition; related activity around corporate landlords and rent-setting scrutiny falls short of enacting or passing the specific ban. Because the promised outcome has not been achieved, this is classified as never. The cited campaign rollout is not itself a serious legislative or executive attempt sufficient for an effort badge.
