Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Bennet publicly joined and cosponsored the More Homes on the Market Act, and the bill text matches the promised capital-gains exclusion increase for home sales to $500,000/$1,000,000. Because the promise was to support legislation rather than guarantee enactment, his cosponsorship is sufficient credit for delivery in office.
