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
Federal support for affordable housing
Not yet ratedThe promise, in their own wordsI strongly support robust federal support for expansion of affordable and quality housing. Housing is an issue that is top of mind for people who live across coastal and Southwest Oregon.
Why no rating yet
The same page says she supports workforce housing and tax policy for first-time buyers, and opposes tax policy that subsidizes hedge funds buying homes. No bill number and no result. No rating.

A bill or a vote
Veterans
VA access for veterans
Not yet ratedThe promise, in their own wordsI'm committed to working closely with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to ensure we are doing everything we can to increase access to services and benefits for all veterans. Our country made a promise to our veterans, and I have every intention of seeing it through.

A specific service or bill
Education
School funding and double the Pell Grant
Not yet ratedThe promise, in their own wordsThat's why I support efforts to reduce student loan debt, double the Pell Grant, end supplemental taxation of Pell Grants, and fight against predatory loan practices that target vulnerable students.
Why no rating yet
The page also says public-school resources, teacher pay, and smaller classes are a top priority. Doubling the Pell Grant is specific, and the page does not show a bill or a result. No rating.

A Pell Grant bill or appropriation
Extend Secure Rural Schools
Not yet ratedThe promise, in their own wordsThe Secure Rural Schools program has been a lifeline to rural communities by supporting students, roads, and public safety. It's essential that funding for Secure Rural Schools is extended, and I'm proud to introduce the bipartisan Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act with Senators Wyden and Merkley.
Why no rating yet
She said that on July 30, 2023. The release said the bill would reauthorize the program through 2026. Congress.gov shows S. 356, the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act of 2025, became Public Law 119-58 on December 18, 2025. Her December 9, 2025 release describes House passage of that bill. This card is not marked Kept, because the 2023 text was not lined up against the 2025 law.

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.
