Evidence
Bera said the House passage was for legislation aimed at increasing housing supply, lowering housing costs, and expanding access to homeownership.
Roll Call 176 on H. Res. 1299, providing for concurrence in the Senate amendment to H.R. 6644, passed 396-13; Bera voted Yea.
Assessments
Bera publicly supported and voted for housing-supply legislation that would streamline reviews and reduce construction barriers, but the evidence shows House passage only, not final enactment into law. That is meaningful legislative effort and partial fulfillment, but not full delivery of the promise.
