Assessments
Collins materially attempted to fulfill the promise by sponsoring H. Res. 1204 and publicly promoting a package that included Veterans Appreciation Month. However, the federal record shows the resolution was only introduced and referred to committee, with no House passage, Senate action, enactment, or completed federal designation establishing Veterans Appreciation Month. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered despite a serious same-term legislative attempt, this is a failed promise with effort credit.
Mike Collins publicly introduced a package and a House resolution that proposed establishing a Veterans Appreciation Month, so he made a real legislative attempt during his current term. However, the evidence stops at introduction and committee referral; there is no passage or enactment showing the month was actually established. Under the campaign-credit rules, this is a serious but unsuccessful attempt, so the promise was not delivered.
Collins made a concrete same-term legislative effort by introducing H. Res. 1204 as part of his 250 Years of Military Honor Package, which included establishing Veterans Appreciation Month. However, the available official record shows the measure was only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence it passed or otherwise established the promised month. Because there was a serious attempt but the promised outcome has not been delivered, this is not fulfilled.
