The campaign issues page says that in Congress Bacon is working on legislation to support police and keep communities safe, and it lists examples including introducing the Back the Blue Act of 2023 and co-sponsoring the Ensuring Safer Schools Act of 2023.

This is the campaign promise itself and frames public safety and police-support legislation as an active priority.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to work on legislation supporting police and community safety, not to guarantee final enactment of a specific bill. Bacon met that standard in the same term by introducing or reintroducing police-support and public-safety legislation, including the Back the Blue Act and the Stop the Doxx Act, and by materially advancing the LEOSA Reform Act through House passage. Those actions are direct, candidate-attributable legislative work that matches the pledge's wording and scope.

delivered same_term

The promise was framed as working on legislation, not guaranteeing enactment. Evidence shows Bacon introduced or reintroduced police-support/public-safety legislation, including the Back the Blue Act, supported the LEOSA Reform Act, and saw that bill pass the House in May 2025. These actions satisfy the promised legislative work during the same term.
