Assessments

delivered same_term

Harshbarger promised an ongoing federal legislative stance: defend Second Amendment rights and oppose efforts to restrict law-abiding citizens' right to bear arms. During her House service, she voted against major gun-control/background-check legislation and cosponsored pro-Second Amendment measures, including H.Res.1267 and H.R.1271. Because the promise was about continued advocacy and opposition rather than enactment of a specific statutory outcome, these same-term votes and cosponsorships are sufficient to count as fulfilled.

delivered same_term

Harshbarger’s promise was an ongoing conduct pledge to defend Second Amendment rights and oppose restrictions on lawful gun ownership, not a promise to enact a specific law. The evidence shows she acted consistently with that pledge during the same congressional term by voting against major background-check legislation and cosponsoring pro-gun-rights measures and resolutions, including measures opposing gun-registry-style requirements and affirming the right to keep and bear arms. Because the promised behavior was carried out, this is best classified as delivered rather than merely an unsuccessful effort.
