Evidence

Executive Order 14367 states: "I hereby designate illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)."

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official Federal Register text shows the federal government designated illicit fentanyl and core precursor chemicals as WMD by executive order. This delivers the policy substance after Boebert's 2023-2025 House term, through executive action rather than enactment of her bill.

GovInfo lists H.R. 7190 as introduced by Ms. Boebert and referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): During the term tied to the 2022 campaign, Boebert introduced legislation to require DHS's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to treat illicit fentanyl as a WMD. The bill remained introduced/referred, showing serious legislative effort but not same-term enactment.

The promised federal policy outcome was ultimately achieved when Executive Order 14367 designated illicit fentanyl and core precursor chemicals as weapons of mass destruction on December 15, 2025. Boebert also made a serious same-term legislative effort by introducing H.R. 7190, the Fentanyl is a WMD Act, on February 1, 2024, but that bill was only referred to committee and did not enact the classification during the 2023-2025 term tied to the 2022 campaign. Because the final designation came later through executive action by another official rather than through Boebert's enacted legislation, this warrants partial credit rather than full delivery, with an effort badge for her serious legislative attempt.
