Assessments
DesJarlais promised to vote to protect Second Amendment rights, and the evidence shows he voted Yea on House passage of H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, during the 119th Congress. Because the promise was framed as a voting commitment for a federal representative, the recorded affirmative vote on a directly relevant Second Amendment bill is sufficient for delivery even though the bill had only advanced to the Senate.
The promise is framed as an action promise to cast votes protecting Second Amendment rights, not to enact a final law. Evidence shows Scott DesJarlais voted Yea on House passage of H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, during the relevant term. Because he took the promised voting action on a bill explicitly presented as protecting Second Amendment rights, this counts as delivered in the same term.
