The promise was to pursue legislation, not to guarantee enactment. In May 2026, while serving in office, George Whitesides introduced the bipartisan Veteran Scam Victim Foundation Act, described as creating a nonprofit organization for veterans and their beneficiaries harmed by scams and supporting prevention, victim services, and education. Because the legislative pursuit itself materially matches the promised action and occurred during his term, this counts as delivered in the same term.
