Assessments
The promise was framed as supporting legislation, not guaranteeing enactment. In the federal delegate context, Plaskett materially advanced the promised education-access objective by backing the Territorial Student Access to Higher Education Act and securing House passage during her current term, while also maintaining the issue as an active legislative priority. Because the promised action was to support such legislation, House passage of Plaskett-backed legislation is sufficient for delivery even though final Senate/presidential enactment is not shown.
