Assessments
McDowell made concrete same-term legislative efforts aligned with the promise, including cosponsoring H.R.21, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, and voting for H.R.6945, the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act. However, the cited pro-life and pro-family measures had only passed the House and remained referred to Senate committees, so the promised policy outcome was not delivered as enacted federal law. Under the instruction to mark serious but unsuccessful attempts as never with an effort badge, the appropriate outcome is never.
