Counts are the promise cards on this page. Not yet rated means the sentence has no target, or the pages opened so far do not show a result the rubric can grade.
Housing
House veterans who are left out by eligibility rules
In ProgressThe promise, in their own wordsCase in point: no veteran should be left out in the cold because of technicalities. This bill is about removing barriers, centering compassion, and delivering on the promise we made to every person who served.
What has happened so far
Her June 11, 2025 release says she introduced the Every Veteran Housed Act, to align eligibility for VA homelessness programs, including National Guard and Reserve service. The release does not print a bill number and does not say the bill passed. Introduced, not law: In Progress.

A federal role in housing and homelessness
Not yet ratedFrom her official House issue pageNow, she is committed to ensuring Congress does its part to invest in housing and homelessness programs.
Why no rating yet
The page is written in the third person. It says she led a housing bill as chair of a committee in the Oregon Legislature, and that she wants Congress to invest. It does not name a federal bill or a dollar amount. No rating.

A federal bill or a funding figure
Climate
Public lands, climate, and Tribal obligations
Not yet ratedThe promise, in their own wordsOregonians believe that the climate crisis is real, our public lands deserve protection, and the federal government needs to uphold its Tribal obligations. Full stop. As the Democratic leader of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I will push back against Republicans' extreme energy agenda and its detrimental impacts on our public health at every turn.
Why no rating yet
The January 22, 2025 release announces a subcommittee leadership post. The quote does not name a bill, a hearing, or a measurable target. No rating.

A named action
Health
Fight cuts to health care, food aid, and housing
Not yet ratedThe promise, in their own wordsNo matter the odds, I will fight to advance legislation that exposes this great betrayal for what it is. And I will continue to demand that my Republican colleagues show courage in this moment and stand up for what we all know is right.
Why no rating yet
The February 25, 2025 release says she introduced six amendments aimed at Medicaid, SNAP, utility assistance, and federal housing assistance. The quote is a pledge to keep fighting. The release does not report a result on those amendments. No rating.
Release on the six amendments
What happened to the amendments
Every promise above is quoted from a page that was opened, and every card links that page. A paywalled article, when one exists, is a secondary link. It is not the page a reader has to open to see the quote. How ratings work.
Dispute a card
A dispute is not saved on this site. There is no database and no public inbox. Copy the note if you want to send it somewhere else. A rating changes only when a person publishes the correction on the card. Bots do not close disputes.
How every rating works
Same rubric, same timelines, every party. Only the official’s own words, or a sentence their official page states, count as the promise. No status without a source link. The full plain-English version is on the methodology page.
Clear action matches the promise — a law passed, a program funded, a vote in the promised direction.
Documented steps are moving: a bill introduced, sponsored, or publicly advancing.
A fair window passed — a full session or a Congress year — with no meaningful action.
Acted opposite to the promise, or abandoned it in public.
Partial delivery that changes the scope, timing, or dollars of the original promise.
Too vague to test, or no source yet. We would rather say that than guess.
The trust rules
Disputes are public and hold a rating as Under Review until a person resolves them in writing — bots never close disputes. No rating ever changes silently: every change lands in a public change log with a date and a reason. Corrections are published on the same page they fix. Bots collect and match; published rules rate; humans review.
