Evidence

Moore’s office said on May 14, 2026 that he introduced the Critical Mineral and Extraction Tax Parity Act, a bill meant to strengthen domestic critical mineral supply chains by updating the 45X Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit. The release says Moore wants to update the tax code to incentivize domestic mining and processing of all 60 USGS critical minerals, and that Ways and Means colleagues joined as cosponsors.

Concrete action toward the promise: Moore introduced legislation matching the promise’s tax-code and critical-minerals language, but the source is still an introduction rather than enactment.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Moore took a concrete and serious step toward the promise by introducing the Critical Mineral and Extraction Tax Parity Act on May 14, 2026, and the bill language aligns closely with the pledge to update the tax code for all 60 USGS critical minerals. But the evidence shows only bill introduction and cosponsorship, not enactment or an actual tax-code change. Under the scoring rule, a substantial legislative attempt without achieving the promised outcome counts as not delivered, with effort credit.
