Occurrences
Evidence
5/15 Roll Call 175: H.R. 8469, "Making appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and for other purposes." Vote: Yea.
Sponsor: Rep. Perry, Scott. Latest Action: House - 03/27/2025 Referred to the Subcommittee on Health. Official title: to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of Defense to furnish stellate ganglion block to veterans and members of the Armed Forces with post-traumatic stress disorder, and for other purposes.
Assessments
Perry took concrete same-term actions aligned with parts of the promise: he voted for a major VA appropriations bill and sponsored the TREAT PTSD Act, which directly targeted PTSD treatment for veterans. However, the PTSD bill remained only introduced/referred and the evidence does not show enacted VA reform or expanded veterans' healthcare and education benefits attributable to him. This supports partial fulfillment with a serious effort, not full delivery.
