Evidence

Fine said he introduced the Contract Our Veterans Act of 2025 to create a federal contracting program for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, including sole-source awards, set-asides, and a 5% contracting target.

Official House release confirms he took concrete legislative action on the core promise by introducing a bill that would give veteran-owned small businesses procurement preferences similar to other designated categories. The bill was introduced in the same congressional term, but the release shows introduction only, not enactment or committee passage.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The promise was to establish a federal contracting program for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and give them preference comparable to other designated small-business categories. The evidence shows Randy Fine made a serious same-term legislative effort by introducing the Contract Our Veterans Act of 2025, which directly targeted the promised outcome with set-asides, sole-source authority, and a 5% target. But introduction alone is not fulfillment, and there is no evidence here that the bill was enacted or that the federal program was actually created. Under the scoring rule, a serious legislative attempt that did not achieve the promised outcome is scored as never, with effort credited.
