Increase investment in women's health research to combat chronic conditions.

Evidence
My own agenda has been to try to pass legislation in a bipartisan way that would help us to actually fund the efforts that would help us to get more research and screening and detection, for example, for fibroids, a condition that affects close to 70 percent of all American women by 50; heart disease, the leading killer of women in our country.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Alsobrooks publicly advocated for bipartisan legislation to increase funding for women’s health research, screening, and detection for conditions such as fibroids and heart disease during her Senate term. However, the evidence does not show that new federal investment was enacted, appropriated, or otherwise implemented. Because this is an active federal officeholder and the record provided shows effort but not completion, the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered. The effort badge is warranted because she has made a serious stated legislative push toward the promised outcome.
