Assessments
The promise was to designate a new National Historic Trail, which requires congressional enactment. The evidence shows Suozzi materially pursued this goal by introducing the Washington Spy Ring National Historic Trail Designation Act, including in the current term and previously in the 115th Congress. However, the available evidence does not show the trail was actually designated, and National Park Service materials do not list such a trail. Because he made a serious legislative attempt directly matching the promise but the promised outcome has not been achieved, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
