Evidence

Murphy said the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act passed the Senate 89-10 and that he would continue Senate work on affordable housing for working- and middle-class families.

This is the source for the commitment and ties it to a concrete Senate housing bill in the 2025-2031 term.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Murphy took concrete same-term Senate actions toward the housing affordability promise: he voted for the Senate-passed H.R. 6644/21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on March 12, 2026, publicly backed it, joined S. 3904 on February 24, 2026, and pressed appropriators on Emergency Housing Vouchers. But as of May 31, 2026, the main housing package still required additional Senate action after the House amended it on May 20, and the promised affordability/accessibility outcome had not been enacted or implemented. This merits partial credit for active work, not full delivery.
