Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09) introduced a resolution to recognize May as Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Month and raise awareness of a rare, fast-moving infection that can quickly become a life-threatening emergency.
Recognize May as Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Month and raise awareness of the disease.
Occurrences
Evidence
On the official House office homepage, the "Latest News" section listed a May 31, 2026 item titled "HEALTH AWARENESS: Harder Introduces Resolution to Raise Awareness of Necrotizing Fasciitis," with teaser text saying the resolution honors wounded warrior Dez Del Barba and that early recognition and treatment can mean the difference between life and death.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Josh Harder introduced a House resolution in May 2026 to raise awareness of necrotizing fasciitis and to recognize the issue publicly. That is a meaningful legislative effort tied directly to the promise, but the record provided does not show that the resolution was adopted or that May was officially recognized as Necrotizing Fasciitis Awareness Month. Under the stated scoring rules, a serious attempt without proof of successful delivery counts as never, with effort credit.
