Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Mike Carey introduced H.R. 7527, the Pay Less at the Pump Act, on February 12, 2026, and the Senate companion S. 3863 was also introduced that day. The evidence shows only referral to committee, with no committee approval, chamber passage, enactment, or actual elimination of the IRS Superfund tax. Because Carey made a serious legislative attempt by sponsoring the House bill but did not deliver the promised policy outcome, this scores as never with effort credit.

never same_term A for effort

Mike Carey introduced H.R. 7527, the Pay Less at the Pump Act of 2026, during his current House term, and the Senate companion was also introduced. However, the available record shows only introduction and committee referral, with no passage, enactment, or actual elimination of the IRS Superfund Tax. Because Carey made a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome has not been delivered, this is a failed promise with effort credit.
