As a member of Congress, I will work hard to protect and strengthen the ACA
Protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act.

Evidence
Campaign issue page states that, as a member of Congress, Randall would work to protect and strengthen the ACA, increase Medicaid flexibility, lower out-of-pocket medication costs, and invest in healthcare staffing and infrastructure.
Randall said she introduced four amendments to repeal Medicaid and SNAP cuts and to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act's enhanced premium tax credits, which is concrete legislative action to strengthen ACA coverage.
Randall's office said the House voted 230-196 to pass a three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, and Randall urged the Senate to approve it immediately.
The House Clerk lists Emily Randall as a sitting member with an oath date of January 3, 2025, confirming that her congressional actions on ACA-related measures occurred in the same term as the campaign promise.
Assessments
Randall made concrete same-term efforts to protect and strengthen the ACA, including introducing amendments to permanently extend enhanced ACA premium tax credits and opposing cuts tied to health coverage. The House also passed a three-year ACA enhanced premium tax credit extension that she supported and publicly urged the Senate to approve. However, the evidence does not show final enactment of an ACA-strengthening law or completed federal policy outcome attributable to her, so the promise is not fully delivered.
Randall took concrete same-term legislative actions toward the promise, including introducing amendments to permanently extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits and supporting House passage of a three-year extension. However, the evidence does not show final enactment or completed policy delivery strengthening or protecting the ACA; the House-passed measure still required Senate action. Under the rule for serious attempts that did not deliver the promised outcome, this is best rated never with effort recognized.
