Evidence

"This year’s Warrior Games will bring nearly 200 competitors across 12 adaptive sports, with every branch of our Armed Forces represented. ... My bill, the Gaining A Meaningful Experience from Service (GAMES) Act, eliminates that barrier and opens the door for more wounded veterans—regardless of how long they’ve been medically retired—to compete. ... This year, I’ll keep pushing to make sure every wounded veteran who wants to participate has the chance."

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Mast made a serious attempt to advance the promise by introducing the GAMES Act in the 119th Congress to expand eligibility for a military adaptive sports program, and he publicly continued advocating for the change in 2026. But the evidence provided shows only introduction and referral to committee, with no enactment, committee advancement, or proof that wounded veterans broadly gained the promised access to compete in events like the Warrior Games during the same term. Under the federal office standard, that is a meaningful effort without delivery of the promised outcome.

never same_term A for effort

Mast materially pursued the promise by introducing the GAMES Act to expand eligibility for military adaptive sports programs and publicly continued advocating for wounded veterans' access to events like the Warrior Games. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or completed policy outcome ensuring every interested wounded veteran could compete. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
