Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Torres materially advanced the promise by offering an amendment to the FY2027 Legislative Branch appropriations bill, and the amendment was adopted in committee by voice vote. The adopted language matches the promise closely by requiring in-person workplace rights or misconduct training for Members under publicly disclosed House Ethics Committee review or investigation. However, the evidence provided shows committee adoption, not final enactment into law or binding House-wide implementation. Because the promised requirement appears to have cleared committee but not yet been fully enacted, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered. The action occurred while Torres remained in office, so timing is same_term.
