GovInfo lists the enrolled NDAA as H.R. 2670 (ENR). A search of the enrolled bill text found no matching text for “drag,” “race-based,” or “woke.”

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The enacted NDAA does not appear to contain the Crane anti-woke language, so the campaign promise was not fully delivered through this law.

The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall abolish every DEI office within the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security with regard to the USCG, respectively, including any vestiges of DEI offices, such as sub-offices, programs, elements, or initiatives

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): GovInfo records EO 14185 ordering the Defense Department to abolish DEI offices and related vestiges, matching a core component of the promised anti-'woke' military policy, but as an executive action in Crane's later service rather than his first House term.

A Defense Department task force has confirmed DOD's successful implementation of a departmentwide directive from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to eliminate all diversity, equity and inclusion offices and initiatives.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official DOD reporting says the department validated implementation of the directive eliminating DEI offices and initiatives across DOD, which is strong evidence of delivery for the military-DEI portion of the promise; no lookback-window reversal was found.

Crane appears to have materially advanced anti-'woke' military legislation and amendments during his first term, including committee-stage NDAA amendments and a campaign-site claim that he introduced legislation on the issue. But the available evidence does not show enactment of a military-wide policy, and the enrolled NDAA text does not contain the cited language. That supports partial credit for serious effort, not full delivery of the broad promise.

Crane’s promise was to eradicate woke initiatives from the military, a broad federal policy outcome requiring enacted law or executive action. The evidence shows he materially attempted this during his first House term through NDAA-related amendment activity, including language targeting race-based courses at service academies. However, the cited enacted NDAA does not appear to include the relevant anti-woke language, and the record does not show that military woke initiatives were eradicated. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but no delivered outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
