Assessments
Evans fulfilled the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 1556, the Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act, in March 2017 during his first federal House term. The bill directly matched the promised action: legislation directing the Secretary of Defense to limit transfers of certain military property to federal and state agencies. His later support for substantially similar legislation in 2026 reinforces continued alignment but is not needed for fulfillment.
