The promise was to lead the first Cryptocurrency Town Hall to keep crypto and blockchain issues prominent in the campaign discussion. Direct campaign evidence states that on August 20, 2020, Emmer 'held the first ever Cryptocurrency Town Hall' and describes the event as highlighting cryptocurrency and blockchain innovations during the campaign season. That matches the specific promised action. Later evidence of his crypto caucus leadership and related legislation reinforces continued follow-through, but the core promise itself was already completed at the time of the event.
