Assessments
The promise was framed as supporting legislation, not necessarily securing enactment. Stanton sponsored Native American health legislation during the 117th Congress after the 2020 campaign, and later sponsored or originally cosponsored related Native health and Valley Fever vaccine legislation in subsequent terms. Because the Valley Fever vaccine legislation support appears after the original 2021-2023 term, full delivery of both parts is best classified as later_term. The bills did not need to pass for this support-legislation promise to count as delivered.
The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment. Stanton sponsored Native American health legislation during the relevant federal service period with H.R.6406 in 2022, and later continued the same effort in subsequent Congresses. He also materially advanced Valley Fever vaccine legislation in 2024 as an original cosponsor/introducer of a bill to support vaccine development, licensing, and initial manufacturing. Because the Valley Fever component appears to have been advanced after the 2019-2023 AZ-9 term, the fulfilled timing is later_term.
