Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Begich fulfilled the introduction/support portion of the promise in the same federal House term by introducing the House version of the DATA Act and publicly backing its stated purpose: grid-of-one power systems for manufacturers, lower energy costs, job creation, and avoiding household cost increases. The evidence does not show the DATA Act became law or that the promised policy outcome was implemented, so this is not full delivery. It is a serious legislative attempt, but because part of the promise was specifically to introduce and support the bill, partial credit is more appropriate than never.
