Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promise was to lower drug prices for seniors and the middle class, which requires an actual enacted or implemented cost-lowering outcome. The evidence shows Auchincloss made serious legislative efforts, including introducing H.R. 9096 and supporting House-passed PBM/drug-cost provisions in H.R. 5378, but the cited bills did not become law or otherwise produce the promised outcome during the term. Under the rule for serious attempts that fail to deliver, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
