Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Crow materially advanced the promised policy by sponsoring or co-sponsoring federal legislation aimed at prohibiting breed, size, and weight restrictions for dogs in public housing and limiting pet deposits. However, the cited House and Senate vehicles were only introduced and referred to committee in 2025-2026, with no evidence of enactment or implementation. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome has not been delivered, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
