Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Walberg made concrete same-term efforts tied to the promise by introducing Social Security and Medicare lock-box legislation in the 118th Congress and renewing it in the 119th Congress. However, the cited bills only reached introduction/referral and there is no evidence that they became law or that he delivered a completed strengthening or preservation outcome for Social Security and Medicare. Because the promise was framed as 'will work to' but the substantive policy result was not achieved, this is best rated partial with an effort badge.
