Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

Moolenaar appears to have materially backed legislation that directly matches the promise by seeking to ban the importation, manufacture, and sale of connected vehicles and related software or hardware tied to China or other foreign adversaries. But the evidence indicates this remained a proposed legislative effort rather than an enacted federal prohibition, while related connected-vehicle restrictions were still being handled through existing Biden-era administrative rules. Because the candidate made a serious, concrete same-term push but the promised full outcome was not yet completed in law and the issue remained active, the promise is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered.
