Assessments

partial same_term

The cited 2026 executive action materially rolled back DEI-related requirements for federal contractors by prohibiting certain race-based DEI practices and directing contract/FAR changes. That matches part of the promise. But the promise was broader: ending race- and sex-based preferences and eliminating related contracting mandates, quotas, reporting requirements, and programs across federal contracting. The evidence shows a significant but incomplete policy rollback, not a demonstrated full elimination of all such requirements. Candidate credit is also limited because the documented delivery came from President Trump and executive agencies, not from a Grothman-authored or Grothman-driven enactment shown in the record. Under federal candidate-credit rules, that supports partial rather than full delivery.
