"That is why I will keep pushing my bill that would ensure members of Congress do not get paid during a shutdown, not even back pay once it is over."
Assessments
Van Drew publicly reaffirmed that he was still pushing the same shutdown-pay bill and the denial-of-back-pay provision matches the claim closely. Because the promise was to keep advocating for the bill, not to enact it, the available evidence supports fulfillment in the same term.
The available evidence shows Van Drew publicly renewed his push for a bill to withhold congressional pay during shutdowns and deny back pay afterward, which is a concrete same-term effort toward the promised policy. However, the record provided does not show that the bill became law or that congressional pay/back pay rules were actually changed. Because the promised wording is partly about continued advocacy but the substantive policy outcome remains undelivered, partial credit is appropriate rather than full delivery.
