Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Salinas clearly kept mental health as a public priority and made serious same-term efforts, including caucus leadership and sponsoring multiple mental-health access bills. However, the cited bills were only introduced or referred to committee and no enacted federal policy outcome is shown that improved access to mental health care across America. Under the rule for serious attempts that failed to deliver the promised outcome, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
