The member record shows Ivey's sponsored legislation during the 118th Congress, including bills such as H.R.9832 and H.R.9261, both listed as introduced and referred to committee; the visible record does not show enactment of a housing tax-credit bill or housing-development law tied to this promise.

Congressman Ivey voted to finalize $11,681,279 in Community Project Funding that he previously secured for Maryland’s 4th District in the 2024 spending bills.
Assessments
The promise specifically concerned supporting tax credits for first-time homeowners and new housing development in Maryland's 4th District. The evidence does not show that Ivey enacted, sponsored to passage, or materially advanced a federal tax-credit law matching that pledge. However, during the same House term he did secure and vote to finalize district Community Project Funding, which demonstrates some housing-adjacent effort and local development support, though not the promised tax-credit outcome itself. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
The promise had two parts: supporting tax credits for first-time homeowners and supporting new housing development within the district. The evidence does not show that Ivey delivered or enacted first-time-homebuyer tax credits, nor a matching housing-development tax incentive. However, he did secure and vote to finalize district Community Project Funding in the 2024 spending bills, which is some concrete housing-adjacent local investment activity during the same term. That supports partial fulfillment, not full delivery. Because there was some legislative/executive effort toward local development funding but not the promised tax-credit outcome, effort_badge is true.
