Assessments

delivered later_term A for effort

The promise was broad but centered on continuing to fight for veterans' resources and benefits. Lujan served in the House after the 2008 campaign and later, as a U.S. Senator, voted yes on final Senate passage of the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022, which became Public Law 117-168 and materially expanded VA health care and benefits for toxic-exposed veterans. Because the major enacted delivery occurred after the covered House term, it counts as later_term delivery with candidate credit for materially advancing the law through his Senate vote.
