The promise was to reduce construction costs through a package of housing-supply and development actions. The evidence shows Bennet supported related federal housing legislation, including cosponsoring the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act and the More Homes on the Market Act, but those actions were legislative attempts rather than enacted policy delivering the promised outcome. The cited bills also addressed only parts of the broader promise and did not establish that construction costs were actually cut through the listed mechanisms. Because he made serious related legislative efforts during his Senate term but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best scored as not fulfilled with effort credit.
