Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

The promise was conditional on Democrats taking back the House, which did not occur for the 119th Congress. Goldman did take concrete legislative action consistent with the promise, including supporting/cosponsoring End Junk Fees for Renters Act legislation in the 118th and 119th Congresses, but the measures remained introduced/referred and did not become law or otherwise deliver the promised crackdown. Because there was a serious legislative effort but no delivered policy outcome, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.

Goldman publicly backed and joined the End Junk Fees for Renters Act in the 118th Congress, matching the promised policy push against renter junk fees and predatory practices. However, the bill remained only introduced/referred and did not become law or otherwise deliver the promised renter-cost crackdown. Because there was a serious legislative effort but the promised outcome was not achieved, this is best rated as never with an effort badge.
