Assessments
Crawford promised to support establishing a comprehensive national nuclear waste policy. In office, he later supported H.R. 3053, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2018, including voting yea on a House procedural step for the bill. That was a concrete legislative effort aligned with the promise, but the bill only passed the House and stalled in the Senate; no comprehensive national nuclear waste policy was established. Because the promised outcome was not delivered despite a serious legislative attempt, this counts as never with an effort badge.
