The promise is framed as an ongoing stance and action commitment to oppose males competing in women’s sports. The evidence shows Perry actively participated in that opposition during the relevant term, including involvement in a 2025 House hearing focused on keeping men out of women’s sports and continued congressional activity on related legislation. However, the record provided does not show that Perry personally sponsored, passed, or secured enactment of a federal measure that fully delivered the promised policy outcome. The cited bills and floor remarks show issue alignment and effort, but not a completed outcome attributable to him. Because he clearly acted in support of the pledge but full policy delivery is not established, partial credit is most appropriate.
