Assessments
The promise was explicitly conditioned on Democrats retaking the House, which had not occurred during the relevant period because Republicans retained the House majority. Goldman did materially attempt to advance the promised policy by introducing the Public Housing Emergency Response Act to fund public housing capital needs, including expected NYCHA funding, but the bill remained only introduced/referred and did not become enacted federal policy. Under the instruction for serious failed legislative attempts, this is not delivered but receives an effort badge.
The promise was explicitly conditioned on Democrats taking back the House, which did not occur during the relevant period; Republicans retained House control. Goldman did make a concrete legislative effort by introducing public housing/NYCHA investment legislation that would have directed substantial funding to NYCHA, but the bill did not become law and the promised investment/redevelopment outcome was not delivered. Because there was a serious legislative attempt without delivery, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
