Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Larsen made concrete efforts and can point to some funding-related results for addiction recovery and overdose prevention, including support for SAMHSA funding, reinstated Washington addiction and mental health grants, and a requested local detox/recovery facility project. However, the evidence does not clearly show a fully delivered, specific appropriation to local fentanyl prevention and recovery services in his district matching the promise end to end; some items are broad statewide/federal funding or requests rather than confirmed local delivery. Therefore the promise is best rated partial, with credit for serious legislative funding efforts.
