requiring comprehensive background checks
Evidence
"If elected to represent the Twelfth Congressional District on November 4th, I will work to pass stronger gun safety laws at the federal level, including requiring comprehensive background checks..." The same page also says, "We need comprehensive background checks."
GovInfo lists Bonnie Watson Coleman as a cosponsor of H.R. 715, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2023, whose full title is "To require a background check for every firearm sale."
On March 11, 2021, the House Clerk recorded Bonnie Watson Coleman voting "Yea" on the motion to recommit for the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, and the page identifies the bill as "Bipartisan Background Checks Act."
Assessments
The promise was to support comprehensive background checks, not necessarily to single-handedly enact them. Watson Coleman explicitly campaigned on requiring comprehensive background checks and later acted consistently in office by voting for the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and cosponsoring H.R. 715, a bill requiring background checks for every firearm sale. Those actions fulfill the support commitment during her congressional service.
