Assessments
Watson Coleman materially advanced the promise by sponsoring H.R. 7385, the PrEP Assistance Program Act, which would create assistance for PrEP medication and related services. But the bill remains only introduced and has not been enacted or otherwise delivered through federal law or appropriations. Because she is still in office and the effort is active rather than conclusively failed, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
