Assessments

delivered same_term

Booker won the 2014 Senate race and, during the resulting term, supported the core components of the promise: he voted for Iran nuclear agreement review legislation, voted against efforts to block the Iran nuclear agreement and related sanctions relief, voted to extend Iran sanctions authority, and voted for later sanctions legislation including Iran-related provisions. The JCPOA negotiations and sanctions framework proceeded during the same Senate term, and Booker materially supported them through relevant Senate votes, so the promise was fulfilled in same-term federal office context.
