Assessments
Cramer was listed as an original cosponsor of S. 4672, the Postal Delivery Accountability Act, introduced in the Senate on June 3, 2026 and referred to committee. The bill directly matches the promise by requiring USPS to improve tracking/identification and resident notification for undelivered or partially delivered mail. Because the promise was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily enact it, this was fulfilled during his same Senate term.
The promise was to introduce and support legislation requiring USPS to provide tracking information to residents, not to guarantee final enactment. Evidence shows Kevin Cramer, while serving in the Senate, joined other senators on June 5, 2026 in introducing the Postal Delivery Accountability Act with the stated purpose of requiring USPS tracking information for deliveries and making it available to residents. That matches the promised legislative action, so this is best scored as delivered in the same term.
Cramer helped introduce the Postal Delivery Accountability Act on June 5, 2026, which matches the legislative-introduction part of the claim. However, the evidence shows introduction only, not enactment or implementation of USPS tracking for residents, so the promise was only partially fulfilled.
