Evidence

Under the heading “Leadership in Fighting the Fentanyl Crisis,” the campaign site says Goldman authored Texas HB 6 in the 2023 Texas legislative session, which created a murder offense for anyone who supplies fentanyl resulting in someone’s death, and adds: “In Congress, I am fighting to track these people down and get them off the streets.”

Archived campaign material shows Goldman explicitly tied his anti-fentanyl platform to authoring a Texas law and to pursuing drug dealers in Congress.

The enrolled text of Texas H.B. 6, authored by Goldman, is titled: “relating to the designation of fentanyl poisoning or fentanyl toxicity for purposes of the death certificate and to the criminal penalties for certain controlled substance offenses; increasing a criminal penalty.”

Goldman previously advanced and enacted a concrete fentanyl-related criminal penalty bill in Texas, which supports the effort portion of the promise.

The House bill text states it would require the FTC to report on minors’ ability to access fentanyl through social media platforms. The congressional bill page lists Craig Goldman as a member appearing in the bill’s cosponsor/member list.

Goldman participated in a concrete congressional anti-fentanyl effort, but the measure was still only introduced and not enacted as of the assessment date.

The committee report says H.R. 2351 would remove ambiguity in prosecuting drug-smuggling cases and ensure Coast Guard policy is updated to treat opioid overdoses, including those related to fentanyl; it also states the bill was introduced by Rep. Addison McDowell and cosponsored by Rep. Craig Goldman.

Goldman cosponsored a federal bill aimed at drug interdiction and fentanyl overdose response, showing ongoing legislative engagement on the issue.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Goldman made concrete same-term efforts in Congress related to the fentanyl crisis, including cosponsoring or participating in federal bills addressing fentanyl access, interdiction, prosecution, and overdose response. His earlier Texas HB 6 record also supports that he had acted on the issue before entering Congress. However, the evidence does not show that his congressional efforts were enacted or that the promised substantive result of getting drug dealers off the streets was achieved. Because the promise is partly framed as ongoing advocacy and legislative work, the record supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
