Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. Curtis directly sponsored S.2222 in the 119th Congress, a bill specifically aimed at enhancing the security and resilience of Taiwan's undersea communication cables and countering PRC gray-zone tactics. The bill was introduced on July 9, 2025 and later reported out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on February 10, 2026. Because he materially advanced matching legislation during his current Senate term, the support-legislation promise is fulfilled, even though the underlying policy has not yet become law.
