Assessments
Wilson materially advanced the pledge in the same federal House term by co-introducing H.R. 8794, the FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act of 2026, which is directly aimed at increasing research and initiatives for bleeding disorders in underserved populations. However, the available bill status remains introduction and referral to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, with no enactment or implemented increase in research opportunities shown. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
Wilson made a concrete same-term legislative push by introducing the bipartisan FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act of 2026, which is directly related to expanding research opportunities for bleeding disorders among underserved populations. The evidence does not show enactment, implementation, or measurable expansion of research opportunities yet, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
