Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to oppose North Jersey casinos, not necessarily to single-handedly prevent them. During his current federal term, Van Drew publicly and directly opposed the renewed 2025 North Jersey casino referendum effort and pledged to fight it. Because the promised action was opposition and he carried it out in office, this counts as delivered in the same term. The effort badge is warranted because the evidence shows active public advocacy against the proposal.
