Status: Passed

Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never.unknownA for effort
The promise was a broad federal campaign pledge to end inflation. By the latest evidence before July 1, 2026, CPI inflation remained elevated at 4.2% year over year in May 2026, above the Federal Reserve's 2% longer-run inflation objective, so the promised outcome was not delivered. Bean did vote for House-passed inflation-related measures, including H.R.347 and H.R.1, but those efforts did not become law and did not end inflation. Because there was concrete legislative effort without fulfillment, this is scored as never with an effort badge.
