Assessments
The promise was to continue working to pass the IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act. Evidence shows Adams materially continued that work in the same term by co-introducing/reintroducing H.R. 8791 and publicly advocating for it. However, the record provided does not show the bill passed Congress or became law. Because she clearly advanced the promised effort but did not achieve the promised passage, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
