Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. unknown

Kelly fulfilled the promise because the commitment was to support legislation, and the evidence shows she introduced H.R. 8576, the Promoting Access to Broadband Act of 2026, to expand awareness and enrollment in Lifeline broadband support for low-income urban and rural households. The bill does not need to have become law to satisfy this support-legislation promise. Timing is marked unknown because the payload does not identify the campaign cycle or term in which the promise was made.
