Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Cory Mills materially acted on the promise by introducing H.R. 7113 in January 2026 to redesignate the Congressional Budget Office as the "China Budget Office" and remove its director. But the available evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to the House Budget Committee, with no passage, enactment, or implemented firing/redesignation. Because he made a serious legislative attempt but did not achieve the promised outcome, this is best scored as never, with effort credit.
