Evidence

Mr. Nadler ... and Mr. Casar ... introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to several other committees. The bill’s full title is: “To decriminalize and deschedule cannabis, to provide for reinvestment in certain persons adversely impacted by the War on Drugs, to provide for expungement of certain cannabis offenses, and for other purposes.”

Casar is listed as a cosponsor of the 2025 MORE Act, which matches the marijuana legalization, expungement, and reinvestment components of the pledge. The bill was introduced and referred, but there is no enactment or completed policy result in the record here.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Casar materially supported legislation that directly matched the pledge: the MORE Act would decriminalize and deschedule cannabis, provide expungement for certain cannabis offenses, and direct reinvestment funds toward communities affected by drug enforcement, including related services. However, the evidence only shows introduction/referral, not enactment or implementation of the promised federal policy outcome. Because this is a serious legislative attempt without completed delivery, the promise is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
