Fresh official statement in the lookback window showing active support for anti-gouging grocery legislation and related surveillance-pricing limits.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 4966, the Stop Price Gouging in Grocery Stores Act of 2025, was introduced in the House on August 12, 2025 and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on the Judiciary; its status remains Introduced.

Official bill record confirms the effort exists but has not advanced beyond introduction, so there is no completed federal delivery yet.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Menendez made a serious same-term federal effort by joining and publicly supporting the Stop Price Gouging in Grocery Stores Act, which directly matches the promise to work to stop grocery-store price gouging. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committees, with no enacted federal law or completed executive outcome. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered, but there was a material legislative attempt, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
