Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Roy directly introduced the Deal Death, Face Death Act during his current federal House term. The bill matches the promise by proposing death-penalty eligibility for knowingly distributing fentanyl or fentanyl-laced drugs when death results. Because the pledge was to support legislation, not necessarily enact it, sponsorship/introduction satisfies the promised action.
