Assessments
Crow met repeatedly with Buckley Space Force Base leaders, convened a Future of Buckley Task Force focused on the base, servicemembers, and families, and supported enacted FY2025 NDAA provisions covering defense authorization, Space Force personnel, pay, spouse employment, child care, and health care. The promise was broad and process-oriented, and the cited actions occurred while he remained in federal office, so it counts as delivered in the same term rather than merely attempted.
