Assessments
The promise was to support climate-change mitigation, conservation, clean and sustainable energy, and responsible environmental regulation. The evidence shows Plaskett sponsored climate-adaptation and coastal restoration bills in the 117th and 118th Congresses, cosponsored renewable-energy legislation for U.S. territories in the 119th Congress, and publicly promoted federal clean-energy investments. Because the promise was framed as support for legislation and initiatives rather than enactment of a specific bill, these sponsorships, cosponsorships, and official advocacy satisfy the promised outcome during the relevant term.
