Submit a record
Show us the record, and we'll check it. You can send us two things:
- A record on a card. Link the card and the record: a law, vote, court ruling or official data.
- A promise is missing. If you know of a promise an official made and what happened to it, link their page here, where the promise was made, and proof of the outcome.
We consider what you send, but we don't guarantee that any submission will be reviewed in full, or that anything will be added or changed. What gets published is entirely at our discretion, and a missing promise is added only if it meets the selection rules on the methodology page. We don't reply to individual submissions or explain decisions. Most submissions are processed within 30 days. When a record changes a card, the update is listed below with its date.

Please check the highlighted fields: a link to a card or official's page on this site, a source link starting with https://, at least a sentence of explanation with no more than five links in it, and a valid email address if you give one.
Record updates
- · Advocate for and sign Medicaid expansion in her first year (Laura Kelly)
Status changed from under review to not scored: the promise set its own deadline (her first year as governor, 2019), which passed before the current term began. No verdict changed.
- · Prohibit any government from imposing COVID mask mandates, vaccine mandates or closures (Greg Abbott)
Status changed from partially kept to mostly kept. The vaccine exception in Sec. 81B.003(b) applies only where the ban conflicts with a federal rule that CMS withdrew on June 5, 2023, before the act took effect, so no government is exempt from the vaccine ban and that part is now counted as delivered (2 of 3 parts).
- · Seek peace in the Middle East (Donald J. Trump)
Status changed from kept to not scored. The card had counted documented efforts as delivery; under the scoring rule of 2026-10-13 a promise to work toward a result is scored on the result, with no exception for a promise to try, as on every other card, and "peace in the Middle East" names no result that can be measured.
- · $110 million to build and renovate child care centers (Kathy Hochul)
Status changed from mostly kept to in progress. The promise names no budget year and the term has not ended, so the $10 million not yet appropriated is still deliverable; a part still deliverable in the current term makes a card in progress, not a final outcome.
- · $244 million for housing, the largest-ever supplemental budget housing investment (Bob Ferguson)
Status changed from mostly kept to partially kept. The promise also called the $244 million the largest-ever supplemental budget investment in housing. The 2022 supplemental capital budget put $300 million into one housing program alone, so that claim is not met, and the $244 million itself was not enacted in full.
- · Bring and pass a stock-trading ban in the House (Steve Scalise)
The quoted passage was extended to the full statement, from "We're going to bring a bill to ban stock trading" to "We're going to pass that bill", and the Senate vote that stopped the bill (53-47 on September 30, 2026) is now stated at the top of the summary. The status did not change.
- · Pass the Reconciliation 3.0 budget in the House and send the SAVE America Act to the Senate (Steve Scalise)
The title and the first sentence of the summary now state that the budget resolution and the SAVE America Act passed the House only and have not been voted on in the Senate. The status did not change.
- · Make sure no one takes away Social Security or Medicare (Hakeem Jeffries)
Rescored from Blocked to Broken: a promise that no one will do a named thing is kept if it did not happen in the term and broken if it did. Blocked is used only for a measure the politician advanced that a recorded vote or a court stopped. Public Law 119-21 limits who may be enrolled in Medicare. The check of Social Security law that this card had not yet made was completed on October 13, 2026.
- · Ensure the Republican reconciliation bill (H.R. 1), in the statement’s words the “GOP Tax Scam”, never becomes law (Katherine Clark)
Rescored from Blocked to Broken: a promise to stop a bill is kept if the bill did not become law in the term and broken if it did. Blocked is used only for a measure the politician advanced that a recorded vote or a court stopped. H.R. 1 became Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025.
- · A four-week continuing resolution to keep the government open (Katherine Clark)
Rescored from Blocked to Broken: the House vote that kept the short-term funding bill from being brought up was taken on March 11, 2025, the day before this statement, and a vote taken before a promise is made cannot block it. After the statement no recorded vote was held on a four-week funding bill, the full-year funding law was enacted on March 15, 2025, and the period the four-week bill was for has ended.
- · A four-week continuing resolution to keep the government open (Hakeem Jeffries)
Rescored from Blocked to Broken: the House vote that kept the short-term funding bill from being brought up was taken on March 11, 2025, the day before this statement, and a vote taken before a promise is made cannot block it. After the statement no recorded vote was held on a four-week funding bill, the full-year funding law was enacted on March 15, 2025, and the period the four-week bill was for has ended.
- · Pass the Reconciliation 3.0 budget resolution through the House the following week and send it to the Senate (Mike Johnson)
The first sentence of the summary now states that the budget resolution passed the House only and has not been voted on in the Senate. The status did not change.
- · Stop the Republican Medicaid cuts from ever taking effect (Hakeem Jeffries)
Rescored from Blocked to Broken: a promise to stop something is kept if it did not take effect in the term and broken if it did. Blocked is used only for a measure the politician advanced that a recorded vote or a court stopped. The Medicaid provisions of Public Law 119-21 were enacted, and section 71109 has applied since October 1, 2026.
- · Make sure the FAA and the NTSB have the resources they need (Hakeem Jeffries)
Rescored from Kept to In progress: the laws that funded both agencies were enacted over his no votes on their final versions, and a result delivered by a law a politician voted against is not credited to them. He voted yes when the House first passed the fiscal year 2026 funding bill, which is recorded as his own action toward the funding.
- · Request $615 million for the Urban Area Security Initiative (Chuck Schumer)
Rescored from Mostly kept to Broken: the $553.5 million for fiscal year 2025 was enacted in a law he voted against on final passage (54-46), after voting yes on the motion to end debate (62-38). A result delivered by a law a politician voted against on final passage is not credited to them. No law he voted for provided money for the fiscal year 2025 request, and that year's funding is final.
- · Prevent the Medicaid cuts in the Republican budget (Chuck Schumer)
Rescored from Blocked to Broken: a promise to prevent something is kept if it did not take effect in the term and broken if it did. Blocked is used only for a measure the politician advanced that a recorded vote or a court stopped. The Medicaid provisions of Public Law 119-21 were enacted, and section 71109 has applied since October 1, 2026.
- · Double funding for the National Institutes of Health (George W. Bush)
The appropriation figures are now on the card: $13,674,843,000 for fiscal year 1998 and $27,166,715,000 for fiscal year 2003. Double the 1998 figure is $27,349,686,000, and the 2003 total is 99.3% of it. A total within 1% of the doubled figure counts as doubled. The status was Kept before and is Kept now.
- · Double funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Barack Obama)
Rescored from Broken to Partially kept: funding rose from $89,640,000 to $128,443,000 during the term, 43% of the increase that doubling required. A promise to double a figure is scored on the share of the promised increase delivered, the same way for every politician; Broken is for no increase or a fall.
- · Double federal funding for basic research over 10 years (Barack Obama)
Scored Partially kept (was Under review): basic research obligations rose from $27,154.0 million in fiscal 2008 to $30,958.9 million in fiscal 2012, the last full fiscal year of the term, 14% of the increase that doubling required. At the tenth year of the promise's ten-year window, fiscal 2018, they were $36,195.1 million, 33%. A promise to double a figure is scored on the share of the promised increase delivered, the same way for every politician.
- · Fund state and local health departments to hire contact tracers (Joe Biden)
Rescored from Under review to Kept. The promise is one commitment, to expand funding for state and local health departments to hire contact tracers, and that funding was enacted in March 2021. The share of cases reached by contact tracing (41% in the period measured) is stated on the card and is not what the promise is scored on.
- · Triple Title I funding and reward progressive state school funding formulas (Joe Biden)
Rescored from Broken to Partially kept: Title I, Part A appropriations rose by $1,870,000,000 during the term, about 6% of the increase that tripling required, and no incentive for state funding formulas was enacted. A promise to double or triple a figure is scored on the share of the promised increase delivered, the same way for every politician; Broken is for no increase or a fall.
- · Make the largest investment in public education the state has ever seen (Tim Walz)
Scored Kept (was Under review). Minnesota Management and Budget's table of actual general fund spending for fiscal 1990 onward was added. The $4.40 billion two-year increase in Education Finance spending for 2024-25 is the largest in the table, in dollars not adjusted for inflation; the next largest is $4.05 billion, for 2012-13.
- · Support the wall, oppose amnesty, veto benefits for illegal immigrants (Jim Pillen)
Rescored from Under review to Kept so far. No federal law granting amnesty or a pathway to citizenship was enacted in the term (all 392 public laws from 118-1 to 119-118 were read), the border wall was funded by a law of the term, and the Legislature's lists of every bill sent to the governor show none giving public benefits to people not lawfully present. The card counts enacted law; the 2024 federal parole process, vacated by a court, is stated and not counted.
- · Increase mental health programming for inmates who need it (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Status changed from Under review to In progress. The Division of Correction's monthly board reports give counts of inmates in its three residential mental health programs before and during the term: 209 at the end of November 2022 and 171 at the end of May 2026. The counts show no increase; the recidivism pilot approved in August 2025, which includes programming on mental illness, is the action under way.
- · Never defund the police (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Measure refined; status stays Broken. The totals now count only State Police money paid from state funds and leave out the two sections payable from federal funds. The Highway Safety Program - Federal section is labelled federal but is payable from a state fund, so the totals are shown with and without it: from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026 the total fell by $1,838,788 without it and by $24,821,621 with it.
- · Never raise taxes (Joe Lombardo)
Basis changed; status stays Broken. The Elko County school levy required by Assembly Bill 519 was offset by an equal cut in the county's own rate, and a required local levy that is offset so that no taxpayer's rate rises is not a tax increase, so it is no longer counted. The card now rests on two other laws he signed: Assembly Bill 232 (2023), which set a minimum tax of 30 cents on each premium cigar where the tax had been 30 percent of the wholesale price, and Assembly Bill 375 (2025), which requires a new surcharge, paid to the state, on carry-out alcohol sales.
- · Public-private partnerships with industry to fund STEM apprenticeships (Wes Moore)
Scored In progress (was Under review). On July 30, 2026 the governor announced $5 million in state awards for registered apprenticeship programs, three of them in information technology, cybersecurity and engineering, with more than $5 million in contributions from employers and other partners. Information technology, cybersecurity and engineering are counted as STEM fields. The programs were announced as expected, and the release gives no employer amount for those fields, so the promise is not yet shown delivered.
- · Work with Congress's Nevada delegation to free up federal land for development (Joe Lombardo)
Scored In progress (was Under review). A promise to work with others to get more of something is scored on the result, for every politician. The Bureau of Land Management's count of land disposed of in the Las Vegas Valley has not risen in the term (716 acres in fiscal years 2023 through 2025, about 239 a year, against a yearly average of 1,413 for 1999 through 2022), and the governor's own steps, a March 2024 letter to the President and an April 2025 data sharing agreement with the Bureau, are on record.
- · End unsheltered homelessness for veterans, families with children, unaccompanied young adults and people 65 and older by 2025 (Tina Kotek)
Figures added; status stays Under review. The January 2025 federal count found people living unsheltered in Oregon in all four groups named: 823 veterans, 1,412 people in families with children, 1,459 unaccompanied youth and 867 people over 64. That count was taken before the end of 2025, and no later count has been published.
- · Keep schools open and reject lockdowns (Ron DeSantis)
Scored Kept so far (was Under review). The pledge is scored on government orders that close schools or impose a lockdown; a school district's own storm closure is not one. Two official records were read in full: the governor's executive order lists for 2023 through 2026, and the state's index of emergency orders, where the law requires every emergency order of the Governor and of the Department of Education to be filed. Neither holds an order closing schools or imposing a lockdown. The same test applies to every politician.
- · Hold district attorneys accountable when they fail to do their jobs (Jeff Landry)
Status changed from Under review to In progress. Gov. Landry signed Act 510 of 2026, which allows public officers, a class that includes district attorneys, to be removed by suit for malfeasance or gross misconduct, and Act 456 of 2024, which raised the prison term for malfeasance in office. No enforcement action against a district attorney was found.
- · Hold insurance companies accountable after hurricanes (Jeff Landry)
Status changed from Under review to In progress. Gov. Landry signed Act 111 of 2024 and Act 325 of 2026, which add or raise fines on insurers; no enforcement action against an insurance company taken or directed by him was found.
- · Eliminate the state cell phone tax (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from No action yet to Broken. The promise's own words tie it to the 2023-24 budget ("My budget delivers for them"), and a proposal tied to a year's budget is final when that budget is enacted. The 2023-24 budget was enacted on August 3, 2023 and the tax was not eliminated. The same reading is applied to every governor's budget proposals.
- · A 50 percent increase for the Manufacturing Innovation Program (Josh Shapiro)
Status changed from Under review to Kept. The state treasury's contract files show the program's yearly contract with Carnegie Mellon University: $2,000,000 from the 2022-23 appropriation and $3,000,000 from the 2023-24 appropriation, a 50 percent increase. Counting money carried over from earlier years, the contract totals rose 45.2 percent, from $2,215,956.26 to $3,217,628.45.
- · Expand concurrent enrollment for high schoolers (Kevin Stitt)
Status changed from Under review to Kept on the measurable part. The State Regents' account of appropriation changes shows $2,000,000 more for the concurrent enrollment tuition waiver program for fiscal year 2024 and $975,818 more for fiscal year 2025. The address named no amount and no grade levels; the form in the Executive Budget, paying for freshmen and sophomores, was not enacted.
- · The largest investment ever in the GIVE gun-violence initiative (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from Kept to Under review. The card rested on the governor's office calling the FY2024 GIVE funding the largest in state history. A "largest ever" promise needs a record that compares earlier years, and no such record was on the card.
- · The largest investment ever in the GIVE gun-violence initiative (Kathy Hochul)
Later the same day, rescored from Under review to Kept. The project GIVE appropriation for every year from the program's first, 2014-15, through 2023-24 was read from the state budget bills and added to the card; the 2023-24 amount is the largest, in dollars not adjusted for inflation.
- · Invest more than $1 billion in mental health care (Kathy Hochul)
Evidence changed; status stays Kept. The card now rests on the State Comptroller's report on the enacted FY2024 budget instead of the governor's own announcement, and says that the record shows $1 billion where the promise said "more than $1 billion".
- · Another $120 million for property tax relief (Brad Little)
Rescored from Kept to Partially kept. The $124.2 million in relief came through House Bill 292, which the governor vetoed and the Legislature enacted over his veto; a result delivered by a bill enacted over a politician's own veto is not credited to them. The $20 million in House Bill 380, which he signed, is counted: $20 million of the $120 million.
- · State-funded Education Savings Accounts for every parent, this year (Greg Abbott)
Re-checked; status stays Mostly kept. The card now states the share of eligible applicants awarded a place at each date: 38.6% on the day of the lottery (May 18, 2026) and about 58% after the waitlist awards reported through August 28, 2026. The latest official figure is the one scored.
- · Expand the Arizona Promise Scholarship with funding capacity for 10,000 more students (Katie Hobbs)
Status changed from Under review to Partially kept. The Legislature's budget committee reports how many students the program served: 5,596 in FY 2023 and 9,200 in FY 2024, the year the expansion money was enacted. That is 3,604 more students against the 10,000 promised.
- · Raise the rainy day fund to 30% and place another $630 million in it (Joe Lombardo)
Rescored from Mostly kept to Partially kept. The card had counted transfers that state law already required. The promise was to place "another $630 million" in the fund, and the governor's budget recommended that money as one-time appropriations separate from the required transfers, so only the one-time transfer the Legislature approved ($269.6 million, 43%) is counted. The cap (26% enacted, 30% promised) is now listed as its own part.
- · Expand the Child Tax Credit (Hakeem Jeffries)
Rescored from Kept to No action yet: the law that expanded the credit passed over his vote, and a result delivered by a law a politician voted against is not credited to them. The child tax credit bill he cosponsored has had no action since it was referred to committee.
- · Make school choice a reality for every Tennessee family in 2024 (Bill Lee)
Summary now says the 62% is a share of applications, because the state publishes no count of eligible families, and notes that the reserved and waitlisted figures add up to 52,735 of the 56,440 applications. Status unchanged (Mostly kept).
- · Largest housing investment in state history: $1.4 billion for nearly 10,000 homes in 2024 (Gretchen Whitmer)
Status unchanged (Mostly kept). The "largest in Michigan history" part had rested on the housing authority calling 2024 its most productive year. It now rests on the authority's annual production reports for fiscal years 2000 through 2024, which give each year's total. The fiscal year is corrected to July 2023 through June 2024. The card also says that the comparison covers fiscal 2000 through 2024 only, that the fiscal 2024 total includes tax-credit and grant lines the earlier totals did not, and what the figure is on the four program lines reported in both years ($1.32 billion in fiscal 2024, $1.23 billion in fiscal 2023).
- · Let charter schools use vacant school buildings (Kevin Stitt)
Status changed from Under review to No action yet. The Legislature's compilation of the education title of the statutes, current through the 2025 session, and the short titles of all House and Senate bills on the Secretary of State's 2026 list were read; none gives charter schools the use of vacant school district buildings. The term runs to January 2027.
- · Sign any tax cut that reaches his desk (Kevin Stitt)
Scored Kept so far (was Under review): the check of every bill vetoed in the term is complete. The Secretary of State's lists for 2023 through 2026 show 208 vetoed measures, and none reduces a tax rate or repeals a tax. A bill that widens or narrows an exemption, credit or deduction is not counted as a tax cut or a tax increase for any politician.
- · Invest in school safety through a $100 million grant program (Kay Ivey)
Rescored from Under review to In progress. The School Security Act of 2024 created a school security grant fund, and the 2025 and 2026 supplemental appropriations put $40 million of the $100 million under that act. The address named no budget year, so the request has no deadline before the term ends.
- · Recruit 1,000 California Highway Patrol officers (Gavin Newsom)
Status unchanged (Kept). The card had tested only the recruiting half of the sentence. It now also tests "not defunding the police" on the California Highway Patrol's enacted budget for each year of the term, which rose every year. The comparison is one enacted budget against the next.
- · Have the Gaming Control Board regulate and tax skill games (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from No action yet to Broken. The promise's own words tie it to the 2025-26 budget ("my budget charges the Gaming Control Board"), and a proposal tied to a year's budget is final when that budget is enacted. The 2025-26 budget was enacted on November 12, 2025 without it. The same reading is applied to every governor's budget proposals.
- · More money for therapeutic foster care and a children's behavioral health screening system (Janet Mills)
Scored In progress (was Under review). The Department of Health and Human Services said in a rule adopted April 28, 2026 that it will pay higher rates under new therapeutic foster care programs planned for January 2027, and a rule effective January 30, 2026 sets out a single assessment of children's level of care. Neither the money for therapeutic foster care nor the screening system is shown delivered in the terms of the proposal: the enacted budget lines do not name them.
- · No increase in the sales tax or the property tax in 2025 (Wes Moore)
Property tax check completed; status stays Broken. The State real property tax rate was 11.2 cents per $100 before and after the 2025 session, so the property tax was not raised. The card is broken on the sales tax: a higher rate on adult-use cannabis and a new 3% sales and use tax on data and IT services, both read in the enacted act. The repealed exemptions are no longer counted as raising a tax.
- · The largest investment in water in Texas history (Greg Abbott)
Rescored from Kept to Under review. The card had counted the promise as kept on the 2025 water measures and the governor's office's $20 billion figure. A "largest in history" promise needs a record that compares earlier years. In 2013 the state appropriated $2 billion for water. The 2025 session provided $2.6 billion in All Funds, of which $1.8 billion was general revenue, and the $20 billion is sales-tax revenue dedicated from September 2027, after the term. No record comparing all earlier sessions has been read.
- · Double the number of first-time homebuyers helped by Arizona Is Home (Katie Hobbs)
Status changed from Under review to In progress. The Arizona Department of Housing's 2025 award entry gives 524 homebuyers assisted, against more than 400 when the promise was made; doubling means more than 800. The Governor's office added $5 million to the program in August 2025 and the term is still running.
- · Release the latest update of the Rhode Island 2030 plan (Dan McKee)
Scored Kept (was Under review). An Internet Archive copy of RI2030.com made at 8:07 p.m. Eastern on January 14, 2025, the night of the address, links to the 2025 version of the plan in English and Spanish. The copy from December 12, 2024 offered only the 2022 version.
- · Rebuild state reserves, adding $7.3 billion (Gavin Newsom)
The deposits to each reserve are now itemised on the card: $3.9 billion added to the Rainy Day Fund and $9.2 billion to the school reserve ($8.7 billion mandatory, $500 million discretionary). Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Balance the budget without cutting public schools (Brad Little)
Status confirmed as Broken. The balanced-budget finding now rests on the Legislature's fiscal report (ending balances of $67,294,700 for FY2026 and $148,768,300 for FY2027) and states that FY2026 revenue alone did not cover FY2026 spending. The cut is unchanged: the FY2026 Public School Support total was reduced by $14,566,500 after the address.
- · Double the license suspension for refusing a breath test (6 months to 1 year) (Kelly Ayotte)
Calculation corrected; status stays Mostly kept. A promise to double is measured on the promised increase: the suspension rose by three of the six promised months (50%). The card had said nine of twelve months, 75%.
- · Sign a balanced FY2027 budget when acting on it in June 2026 (Mike Kehoe)
Basis changed; status stays Kept. The card had rested on the governor's office describing the budget as balanced. It now rests on the State Auditor's June 2026 projection that the General Revenue Fund ends fiscal year 2027 with $600,270,321, counting $2,325,590,605 carried in. The card now also states that the year's spending is projected at $1,725,320,284 above the year's revenue.
- · Environmental justice representatives on the Energy Facilities Siting Board, a DPU public participation office, and intervenor funds (Maura Healey)
Status changed from Under review to In progress. Two of the promise's three parts (the public participation office and the intervenor fund) were enacted by Chapter 239 of the Acts of 2024; the third (appointing representatives from environmental justice communities to the Siting Board) is not shown by the record and can still be delivered in the term.
- · Train top-level officials in environmental and energy justice decision-making (Maura Healey)
Status changed from Under review to In progress: the state's environmental justice strategy (February 2024) and its 2025 Climate Report Card record an environmental justice training program for agency staff. The records do not show that all top-level officials were trained.
- · Convene the Environmental Justice Advisory Council (Maura Healey)
Summary corrected: it inferred from the council's eighth meeting (February 8, 2023) that the 2021 council had met before the term. It now cites the council's sixth meeting, held November 21, 2022. Status unchanged (under review).
- · At least 1% of the state budget for environmental and energy agencies, and more DPU funding (Maura Healey)
Summary now applies two scoring rules to the 1% part: a share within 1% of the stated figure counts as meeting it, so fiscal 2024 (0.995%) met the floor, and a share-of-budget promise with no year is checked against each enacted budget of the term (1 of 4 years met). The part remains undelivered and the status is unchanged (mostly kept). All figures were recomputed from the four budget data files.
- · Close the MBTA's budget gap (Maura Healey)
Status changed from Under review to In progress after the MBTA's fiscal 2026 budget table was read: the shortfall fell from $307 million to $168 million and was not closed in that budget.
- · Get families out of shelter hotels for good in 2025 (Maura Healey)
Status changed from Under review to Kept after the August 1, 2025 announcement that all hotel shelters had closed and the administration's September 8, 2026 report to the Legislature were read.
- · Invest $8 billion over 10 years and put transportation on stable financial footing (Maura Healey)
Date corrected: the FY2026 budget (Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2025) was signed in part by the governor on July 4, 2025, per the bill history of H.4240. The card had said June 30, 2025, the date printed on the session law page, which is the day the Legislature enacted it. Status unchanged.
- · End veteran homelessness (Maura Healey)
Status changed from Under review to In progress after the Executive Office of Veterans Services' progress page was read: it reports veterans housed and a fall in unsheltered veteran homelessness, not an end to veteran homelessness.
- · Turn unused state property into homes (Maura Healey)
Summary updated from the state property agency's project list and a June 2, 2026 release: 80 homes on the former Boston State Hospital campus are complete and sold, further parcel sales closed in 2026, and the plan now covers more than 5,600 homes on nearly 700 acres. The earlier summary said no completed homes were on record and gave only the January 2026 figures (450 acres, 3,500 homes). Status unchanged (in progress).
- · Beat the goal of 220,000 new homes by 2035 (Maura Healey)
Summary updated with the state's own count of homes added: 34,561 net new homes in 2025, 15.6% of the 222,000-home goal, from the housing office's tracker published June 25, 2026. The earlier summary said no state count had been read. Status unchanged (in progress).
- · Convert empty downtown offices into apartments (Maura Healey)
Summary corrected: the funding source the card relied on already existed when the address was given. The card now rests on the first tax-credit awards for office and commercial conversions, announced February 17, 2026, after the address. Status unchanged (in progress).
- · Put forward a proposal to extend the ACA premium tax credits for three years (Dick Durbin)
Rescored from kept to blocked: a promise to put forward a proposal is scored on whether it became law; cloture on the proposal failed 51-48 on December 11, 2025.
- · Fight the 30x30 plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule (Jim Pillen)
Updated: the comment period on the supplemental Waters of the United States proposal closed on October 9, 2026; no final rule as of October 10, 2026. Status unchanged.
- · Pass stronger truth-in-labeling laws for fake meat and dairy (Jim Pillen)
Summary now states that LB 246 also makes selling a cultivated-protein product a deceptive trade practice, and why the act is not counted as a truth-in-labeling law (it has no labeling provision). Status unchanged.
- · Increase state prison capacity (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Added a Division of Correction record of the added capacity as a source independent of the governor's office, and stated what the 1,485 beds consist of. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Parolees who commit a new crime serve the rest of the original sentence, consecutive to the new one (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Status changed from Under review to In progress. The act's provisions were confirmed as text the act added. A measure narrower than the promise, in a term still under way, is scored In progress.
- · Increase mental health programming for inmates who need it (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Corrected the summary: the pilot is for inmates at least six months from release, not within six months of release. Status unchanged (Under review).
- · Never defund the police (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Status changed from Kept to Broken. The card had compared only the main State Police operations line. Under the rule that a "never defund" pledge is tested on the total enacted appropriation, every State Police section of each year's appropriation act was added up: the total fell from $160,563,735 for fiscal 2025 to $136,101,096 for fiscal 2026.
- · Reward good teachers with higher pay (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Replaced a quote that ran together words the act struck and words it added; the quote now gives only added text. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Never raise taxes (Joe Lombardo)
Basis changed; status stays Broken. Assembly Bill 530 (2025) only authorizes the Clark County commission to continue fuel tax increases by its own later vote, so it no longer counts as raising taxes. The card now rests on Assembly Bill 519 (approved June 13, 2023), which requires a property tax levy in Elko County. Added the Elko County and Clark County records and the 2023 veto of Assembly Bill 359.
- · Campaign finance reform: $2,000/$1,000 donor limits, PAC limits, small donor PACs, dark money disclosure and small donor public financing (Tina Kotek)
In progress and the 3-of-5 parts are unchanged. The card said the new reporting requirements become operative January 1, 2028; HB 4018 (signed April 9, 2026) moved them to January 1, 2031 and the dashboard to January 1, 2032. Added HB 4018 and its changes.
- · Expand the P-TECH program to additional public schools (Wes Moore)
Date clarified, status unchanged (no action yet): the 2023 report is dated only "December 2023"; the timeline's December 1, 2023 is a placeholder day and the card now says so.
- · More resources for Morgan State University and make it the first HBCU with R1 status (Wes Moore)
Evidence for the "additional resources" part replaced, status unchanged (mostly): the card quoted Morgan State's total budget ($16.6 million, 4.1%); it now quotes State support in the governor's fiscal 2024 allowance ($36.4 million, 23.3%), says that figure is a proposal, and adds the fiscal 2024 working appropriation ($184.5 million, up from $155.5 million actual in fiscal 2023) from the following year's analysis.
- · Roll out Oregon's paid family and medical leave program (Tina Kotek)
Kept unchanged. Added that the September 3, 2023 start date was set before the term by a 2021 law (HB 3398), and added the program's own count of applications received and approved by October 31, 2023 as the record that families were getting the benefit.
- · Make sure all children are reading by third grade (Tina Kotek)
Wording of the test figure corrected: the state file gives 41.5 percent proficient, 15,180 students proficient and 36,831 participants; the card had presented 15,180 of 36,831 as the 41.5 percent. Status unchanged.
- · Immediately issue an executive order to state and county housing agencies to speed up affordable housing construction (Josh Green)
Status changed from broken to mostly kept (1 of 2 parts). "Immediately" names no date and is no longer scored as a deadline; the card states how long delivery took (224 days). The emergency proclamation of July 17, 2023 was read in full. It is not an executive order, but for state agencies it does what the promise’s words describe (it directs all state agencies, suspends laws and coordinates projects), so the state part is delivered. It only calls on county agencies to cooperate and imposes no duty on them, so the county part is not delivered. The proclamation text was added as a source.
- · Direct DHHL to deliver land immediately to Native Hawaiian beneficiaries, and to work with OHA to build housing (Josh Green)
The summary now says how "immediately" is read (no date, not scored as a deadline) and how long delivery took; a June 15, 2024 award of 52 homes on Maui was added as the earliest award found. Status unchanged (in progress).
- · Reduce homelessness by building kauhale villages and funding new programs, services and incentives such as vouchers (Josh Green)
Added the governor's October 7, 2026 release (2026 point-in-time figures for unsheltered people, nearly 900 kauhale beds) and the state auditor's Report No. 26-11 on the kauhale initiative to the timeline and summary. Status unchanged (in progress).
- · Double Title X family planning funding with a one-to-one state match (Katie Hobbs)
Status changed from In progress to No action yet. The card had counted the January 2023 budget proposal as delivering the first part ("work to increase funding"); a proposal alone is not delivery, and nothing was enacted. This is the same treatment as the other FY 2024 budget proposals on this scorecard (diapers, feminine hygiene products).
- · Five-year, $25 billion plan to create or preserve 100,000 affordable homes (Kathy Hochul)
Updated the count from more than 81,000 (May 5, 2026) to close to 86,000 (governor's release of August 10, 2026). Status unchanged.
- · Make reading coaches available for at-risk children (and improve access to quality pre-K) (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Added the act's literacy tutoring grant provision and a Division of Elementary and Secondary Education record of the coaches at work; the quoted provisions were confirmed as text the act added. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Veto any bill that would restrict abortion rights (Josh Shapiro)
Count of bills presented in 2025-2026 updated from 134 (export of October 3, 2026) to 141 (export of October 10, 2026); all approved, none restricting abortion. Status unchanged.
- · End reduced sentences for drug traffickers and burglars (Joe Lombardo)
Status changed from No action yet to In progress. Added Senate Bill 35 (approved June 14, 2023), which set lower trafficking quantities for illicitly manufactured fentanyl; the earlier version of this card did not list it. Added Assembly Bill 236 (2019) as the source for the 2019 changes, and listed the three parts of the promise.
- · Sign bills defending free speech or the right to keep and bear arms (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Checked the governor's published veto letters for 2023 through 2026 (the earlier version said the veto list had not been checked): none concerns free speech or gun rights. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Sign legislation promoting adoption or improving foster care (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Checked the governor's published veto letters for 2023 through 2026 (the earlier version said the veto list had not been checked): none concerns adoption or foster care. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Put more police officers on the street (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Status changed from Kept to Under review. The increase in State Police numbers rested on the governor's own statements; the agency's annual reports give class sizes but not the size of the force, so a net increase is not yet shown by an independent record.
- · Refund application fees when the state misses its permit deadlines (Josh Shapiro)
The count of 4 refunds is now cited to the document that states it, the Budget Address of February 4, 2025. Status unchanged.
- · Eliminate the state cell phone tax (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from broken to no action yet: "let's eliminate the state cell phone tax" names no fiscal year, so under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-address proposals it has no deadline before the term ends. Stray HTML markup removed from the source citation.
- · Expand the Property Tax/Rent Rebate: $1,000 maximum, $45,000 income cap, tied to cost of living (Josh Shapiro)
Added the enacting law (Act 7 of 2023) as an outcome, and removed a sentence in the context that said the cell phone tax line was not scored; it is scored on its own card. Status unchanged.
- · A 50 percent increase for the Manufacturing Innovation Program (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from kept to under review: the cited records show a $1 million increase but not the Innovation Program's own base, so they do not show a 50 percent increase; the Manufacturing PA appropriation as a whole rose 8.33 percent.
- · Additional funds for ‘Ohana Zones in the budget (Josh Green)
The legislature's conference worksheet for Act 164 of 2023 added as the primary record of the $15 million (fiscal 2024 only; the governor asked for $15 million a year). Status unchanged (kept).
- · Raise the Commerce Tax exemption from $4 million to $6 million (Joe Lombardo)
Status changed from No action yet to Broken: the promise was tied to the governor’s 2023-2025 budget, which was enacted without the change, and the threshold is still $4,000,000. Outcome dates corrected to April 15, 2023 (SB 193) and June 3, 2025 (AB 276). Removed the description of SB 193’s sponsors by party, which the cited page does not state.
- · Idaho Launch: an $8,500 scholarship for graduating seniors, starting next year (Brad Little)
Corrected the bill that set the $8,000 cap: it was Senate Bill 1167 of 2023 (signed April 4, 2023), not House Bill 741 of 2024, where the $8,000 line was already law. Status unchanged (mostly, $8,000 of $8,500).
- · Pass the Tennessee Works Act (small business tax relief) (Bill Lee)
Summary corrected: the act has no "standard deduction". It now states what Public Chapter 377 does, each point quoted from the act: the business tax exemption threshold ($10,000 to $100,000), a $50,000 excise tax deduction, and a $500,000 franchise tax property exemption. Status unchanged.
- · Suspend the state fuel tax for 12 months (Joe Lombardo)
Added the Fiscal Analysis Division’s 2023 Appropriations Report as a direct record that the Legislature did not consider the fuel tax holiday, and dated the outcome by the approval of the General Appropriations Act (June 5, 2023). Status unchanged.
- · Reserve more than $1 in savings for every new general fund dollar (Joe Lombardo)
Summary reworded: removed a term that belongs to another card and a repeated sentence, and corrected the report’s revision date to March 2024 as printed on its cover. Status unchanged.
- · More resources for the Hawai‘i State Loan Repayment Program for health care providers (Josh Green)
The legislature's conference worksheet for Act 164 of 2023 added as the primary record of the $10 million and $20 million. Status unchanged (kept).
- · Another $120 million for property tax relief (Brad Little)
Amount now cited from the Legislative Services Office's fiscal report ($124.2 million ongoing) as well as the governor's summary. Status unchanged (kept).
- · No one-time surplus money for recurring programs (Joe Lombardo)
Summary reworded: removed a sentence about a spending ratio that belongs to another card, and corrected the report’s revision date to March 2024 as printed on its cover. Status unchanged.
- · Reward community colleges that produce skilled, employable Texans (Greg Abbott)
Summary corrected: House Bill 8 set up a base tier and a performance tier (Education Code 130A.004); the earlier wording said it replaced contact-hour funding with a performance tier. Signing date now quoted from the bill history. Status unchanged (kept).
- · Over 60 new positions to expand nursing and medical programs across University of Hawai‘i campuses (Josh Green)
Status changed from under review to partially kept. The legislature's conference worksheets for the 2023 budget and the 2024 supplemental budget itemize University of Hawai‘i positions: the governor asked for 61 full-time-equivalent positions for nursing, medical and health programs, and 13.5 were funded for the two years (3 in 2023, 10.5 in 2024). Scored as an amount: 13.5 of 60.
- · State-funded Education Savings Accounts for every parent, this year (Greg Abbott)
Status changed from partially kept to mostly kept. The earlier figures (slightly fewer than 100,000 awards, May 29, 2026) were out of date. Under the seat-cap ruling as made precise on 2026-10-10 (students awarded a seat divided by eligible applicants, latest official figures), the Comptroller's figures through August 28, 2026 give almost 146,000 students awarded out of 248,636 eligible applicants, about 58%, so the "every parent" part is more than half (2 of 3 parts).
- · Create Smart Start Workforce Compensation Contracts for child care providers (JB Pritzker)
Corrected the program name and the fiscal year 2025 figure from the appropriation acts: the enacted program is SMART Start Workforce Grants, and the fiscal year 2025 act's named line is $110,000,000 from the General Revenue Fund (the card had given the Governor's figure of about $200 million). Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Expand State Police Community Stabilization Units to 25 communities (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from kept to in-progress: the record shows money for an increase from 16 to 25 units, not units in 25 communities; no State Police record of the expansion was found.
- · Raise starting teacher pay again, into the top 10 states (Brad Little)
Promise quote extended to include the sentence that sets the top-10 target and its four-year horizon. Status unchanged (mostly).
- · Prohibit any government from imposing COVID mask mandates, vaccine mandates or closures (Greg Abbott)
Status changed from mostly kept to partially kept. The vaccine-mandate part was counted as delivered although Senate Bill 29 Sec. 81B.003(b) writes an exception into that ban, while the mask part was counted as not delivered because of its exceptions. Under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 an exception written into a ban is treated the same way for every part of a card, so both are now not delivered (1 of 3 parts). The exception is now quoted and the statement that state law cannot override the federal rule is removed.
- · Firmly establish the Office of Wellness & Resilience within the Governor’s Office (Josh Green)
Summary corrected. It said the office "was not established within the Governor’s Office"; under Act 87 of 2023 the office stayed in the Office of the Governor until June 30, 2025 and moved to the Department of Human Services on July 1, 2025. The context no longer says the card is scored in two parts. The approval date is now sourced to Governor’s Message No. 1188 instead of a bill-status page that could not be re-opened. Status unchanged (broken: the governor signed the law that moved the office out).
- · Another $200 million for the pension stabilization fund (JB Pritzker)
Added the appropriations act as a source and corrected the description: the $200 million was enacted as a supplemental to the previous year's budget (Public Act 102-0698) inside the fiscal year 2024 budget act, whose own fiscal year 2024 lines from the Pension Stabilization Fund are $0. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Keep 10% of revenue in the Rainy Day Fund in the FY 2024 budget (Wes Moore)
Evidence added, status unchanged (kept): the card said it was scored on the enacted FY 2024 budget but quoted only the proposal. It now quotes the Department of Legislative Services' 90 Day Report (April 14, 2023): after final action the estimated Rainy Day Fund balance was $2.5 billion, or 10% of estimated general fund revenues. Later years (9.4% for fiscal 2025, 8% for fiscal 2026 and 2027) are added to the timeline for context; the promise's past-tense wording covers the FY 2024 budget only.
- · Add 1,000 inpatient psychiatric beds (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from kept to in-progress: the Office of Mental Health reports 610 hospital beds reopened against the 850 promised, and its 1,000 total is counted since 2022, before the term began; no figure for beds added since January 1, 2023 was found.
- · Use $15 billion to cut property taxes, passed this session (emergency item) (Greg Abbott)
Like-for-like check added under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on maintained relief: the budget texts show the $15.0 billion proposed and the $17.6 billion enacted each include about $5.3 billion of rate compression already required by law, so the amount is met on either count. The enacted total on the budget text is $17.6 billion; the governor's office figure is $18 billion. Status unchanged (mostly kept).
- · Propose, with the budget, a multi-year education plan with a new student-centered funding formula (Phil Scott)
Rescored from kept to in-progress. The earlier score counted the proposal itself; a promise to propose is scored on what was enacted. Act 73 enacted a foundation formula, but as amended by Act 170 it takes effect only if further legislation is enacted, and none has been. Added the effective-date conditions from the text of both acts.
- · Propose a new, simpler school governance structure (Phil Scott)
Rescored from kept to in-progress. The earlier score counted the proposal itself; a promise to propose is scored on what was enacted. No new governance structure has been enacted: Act 73 states an intent to enact new districts and Act 170 sets up merger committees, with votes on March 7, 2028.
- · Expand the Act 250 housing exemptions in the 2025 session (Phil Scott)
The card is now scored only on the Act 250 exemptions clause. "We must address our appeals process" names no measure and is no longer scored; the record on appeals stays on the timeline. Status unchanged: broken, because the deadline the address set (the 2025 session) passed with no expansion enacted. Title changed to match.
- · Universal eligibility for Education Freedom Accounts (Kelly Ayotte)
Summary rewritten from the law itself (Laws of 2025, chapter 75) instead of the governor's release: it now states the enrollment cap and applies the seat-cap ruling (12,500 of 13,443 eligible students, administrator's figures of August 13, 2026). Status unchanged: kept.
- · Continue summer enrichment, after-school programs and expanded free school meals (Ned Lamont)
Re-scored under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 that each item named in "our budget continues A, B and C" is a part: summer enrichment (not delivered: no FY 25 money on its line) and after-school programs (delivered: $5,750,695 appropriated for FY 25) are now scored alongside the two school-meal components. 2 of 4 parts delivered; status unchanged (mostly). Title widened to name all three items. Corrected one timeline entry that said "free lunch" where the source says "free meals".
- · Nurse home visits for first-time parents in Bridgeport (Ned Lamont)
Summary now states that Family Bridge launched at Bridgeport Hospital in October 2023, before the February 7, 2024 address, and that Kept rests on the program continuing after the address (May 2024 expansion, FY 27 funding). Status unchanged (kept).
- · Continue to fund the LEAP attendance program (Ned Lamont)
Status changed broken -> partial under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on "continue to fund X": scored over the budget years of the term after the address (FY 25, FY 26, FY 27) instead of FY 25 alone. LEAP was funded in FY 27 only (1 of 3 years). Added PA 24-81's ARPA table and OFA's FY 24-FY 26 figures to the timeline.
- · Make school choice a reality for every Tennessee family in 2024 (Bill Lee)
Summary now states the seat-cap measure as made precise on 2026-10-10 (students awarded a seat divided by eligible applicants, latest official figures) and gives the Department of Education's exact count of 56,440 applications as of May 7, 2026; the earlier wording said "more than 56,000 families". Status unchanged (mostly kept).
- · Create an Office of Service and Civic Engagement led by the Lieutenant Governor (Kathy Hochul)
Summary corrected to say who leads the office: the Chief Service Officer leads it, it is housed within the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and the Lieutenant Governor oversees the Chief Service Officer. Status unchanged.
- · Next phase of the Green Affordability Plan: more tax relief, including a child and dependent tax credit (Josh Green)
PromiseText restored to the official text’s spelling ("Hawaiʻi"); the 2026-10-04 note that called "Hawaii" the transcript’s spelling was wrong. The bill-status pages could not be re-opened, so the Senate referral line was removed and the 2026 bills are now sourced to their texts and the list of 2026 acts. Status unchanged (in progress).
- · Smart Start year two: $150 million more and 5,000 more preschool seats (JB Pritzker)
Status changed from Kept to Mostly kept. The amount is now counted from the appropriation acts only: they confirm $80 million of the $150 million increase ($75 million block grant, $5 million home visiting). The $70 million rise in workforce contracts was the Governor's office's figure; the fiscal year 2025 act's named line is $110,000,000. The 5,000-seat part stands.
- · "House Hawai‘i’s ‘Ohana": tax amnesty for short-term rental owners who sell to local families (Josh Green)
PromiseText restored to the official text’s spelling ("House Hawaiʻi’s ʻOhana"); the 2026-10-04 note that called the unaccented spelling the transcript’s was wrong. The bill-status pages could not be re-opened, so the committee-referral lines were removed and the bills are now sourced to their texts and the list of 2024 acts. Status unchanged (broken).
- · Repair or replace the last one-third of dilapidated bridges (Brad Little)
Rescored under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-plan lines: the line was a request for the fiscal year 2025 budget and is scored on what that budget enacted ($200 million, the final third of the bridge program), so the status changed from in-progress to kept. The card states that no completion count was found.
- · $50 million ongoing to bond for $800 million in new transportation infrastructure (Brad Little)
Rescored under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-plan lines: the line was a request for the fiscal year 2025 budget, which was enacted without it, so the status changed from kept to broken. House Bill 25 (2025) stays on the timeline as a later action. Added the legislative fiscal reports as sources.
- · Sign a budget that continues to fully fund the LEARNS Act (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Removed an unsourced statement that no legislative record showed a LEARNS line left short, and added the result of a check of the governor's veto letters. The card is scored on the signing of the budget she was sent. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Sign a fiscal 2025 budget that slows the growth of government (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Added the fiscal 2024 total from Act 888 of 2023 (Allocations A and B), which makes the enacted increase 1.76%, and the result of a check of the governor's veto letters. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Win ongoing funding this session for the border response (Operation SECURE) (Katie Hobbs)
Status changed from Broken to Mostly kept (1 of 2 parts). The card had measured the promise only against the Border Coordination Office line, which the promise does not name, and had not stated that the enacted FY 2025 budget added $1 million in ongoing Local Border Support funding.
- · Transfer $274 million from agency cash funds to support property tax relief (Jim Pillen)
Rescored mostly -> partial. The promise is a transfer to support property tax relief. The $197.8 million moved into the General Fund in the 2024 regular session is not tied to property tax relief by any record and is no longer counted. Counted instead: the $6.5 million FY2024-25 cash-fund transfer in LB 3 of the 2024 special session, which the fiscal office ties to funding the property tax relief act (LB 34).
- · Launch a yearlong Culture of Life and Love Initiative with resources for expecting moms (Jim Pillen)
Rescored kept -> in-progress. The promise names two deliverables. Resources for expecting mothers are shown on a state health department page (archived February 27, 2024, still online). No record shows the launch of a yearlong initiative, so that part is not counted as delivered; it remains deliverable in the term.
- · Fund research into rare diseases like ALS (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from under review to kept: the enacted FY2025 budget bills were read and fund rare-disease research naming ALS ($5,000,000 in chapter 53 and up to $20,000,000 in chapter 54 of the Laws of 2024).
- · Support Leader Odenbach and Leader Mehlhaff's Education Savings Accounts bill (Larry Rhoden)
Removed a sentence about a 2026 opt-in to the federal school choice tax credit, which had no source on the card. The 2026 bill-list source now points to the legislature's bill-title list that was read. The explanation now states one basis for the status. Status unchanged (Blocked).
- · Get work requirements for Medicaid Expansion recipients under way with the Trump Administration (Larry Rhoden)
Summary corrected: it said the department "dropped" its waiver application; the department's page says the application will not be submitted. The effective date of the requirements (January 1, 2027) is now quoted, and a characterisation of that date was removed. Status unchanged (In progress).
- · Record special education spending, nearly 50% higher (Kelly Ayotte)
Scored from the enacted budget and legislative fiscal records (was under review): $49,917,000 a year for special education aid, 47% above the last biennium and above every year from fiscal 2006 on. Status: kept. The earlier summary said the legislature's site could not be reached; it was read on 2026-10-10.
- · Spend $150 million less in general funds than the last budget (Kelly Ayotte)
Scored from the enacted budget (was under review): the Legislative Budget Assistant's final figures show general fund appropriations $260 million below the fiscal 2025 adjusted authorized level over the two years. Status: kept. The earlier summary said the legislature's site could not be reached; it was read on 2026-10-10.
- · Send more money to the local level and spend more on education than ever before (Kelly Ayotte)
Scored from legislative fiscal records (was under review): the Legislative Budget Assistant's state aid schedules show fiscal 2026 and 2027 above every year from fiscal 2006 on, for total state aid and for education aid. Status: kept. The earlier summary said the legislature's site could not be reached; it was read on 2026-10-10.
- · Have the Gaming Control Board regulate and tax skill games (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from broken to no action yet: "we'll treat skill games just like any other video gaming terminal" names no fiscal year, so under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-address proposals it has no deadline before the term ends.
- · Add Glen Onoko Falls to Lehigh Gorge State Park and create Laurel Caverns State Park (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from in progress to mostly kept (1 of 2 parts): the sentence ties both changes to the 2025-26 budget ("This budget expands ... and creates"), so under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-address proposals it is final now that that budget is enacted. Laurel Caverns State Park was created; Lehigh Gorge State Park has not been expanded.
- · Return adult Medicaid eligibility to pre-pandemic levels and add nominal copays (Kelly Ayotte)
Scored from the enacted law (was under review): HB 2 of 2025, chapter 141, sections 65, 67 and 70, enacted the eligibility and copay provisions as the governor proposed them. Status: kept. The earlier summary said the legislature's site could not be reached; it was read on 2026-10-10.
- · Require insurers to reimburse travel costs when care is beyond network adequacy distances (JB Pritzker)
Status changed from Kept to Mostly kept. The card had relied on the Governor's description ("medical appointments"). The act's text limits the travel reimbursement to network exceptions for mental health and substance use disorder treatment; it has none for other medical care.
- · Advance the I-81, US 15 and MD 97 highway projects (Wes Moore)
Evidence added, status unchanged (kept): the FY 2026 budget highlights line on I-81 and US 15 construction, which the summary relied on, is now quoted.
- · A corps of substitute child care professionals (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from under review to in-progress: the enacted FY2026 aid-to-localities act was read and funds substitute pools ($2,500,000 plus $500,000); no record of a pool operating was found.
- · $90 million for 363 more treatment beds and $50 million for the behavioral health workforce (Tina Kotek)
Rescored from Mostly kept to Partially kept. The card had added the two dollar figures into one $140 million amount (58% delivered). One sentence with two dollar figures is scored as two parts: $65,000,000 of the $90,000,000 for beds was enacted (146 new beds announced, against 363) and $5,969,772 of the $50,000,000 for the workforce. Neither part was delivered in full, and money was enacted toward both, so the card is Partially kept. Added the December 22, 2025 bed announcement.
- · Put $200 million more into the property tax credit fund (Jim Pillen)
Added the records the earlier summary left out (the governor's 2025 and 2026 budget proposals, Executive Order 25-13, the governor's LB 261 figures and the fiscal office's appropriation history) and stated the reading: "more" means above what the law already provided. Status unchanged.
- · A middle-class income tax cut for taxpayers under $323,000 (Kathy Hochul)
Added the enacted revenue bill (S3009-C, Part B) as the record of the cut, and attributed the "lowest level in 70 years" statement to the governor's office. Status unchanged.
- · No increase in the sales tax or the property tax in 2025 (Wes Moore)
Detail added, status unchanged (broken): the cannabis quote now carries the rate change (9% to 12%); the summary now says the general 6% sales and use tax rate did not change (quoted from the 2025 and 2026 fiscal notes) and that the card counts a new sales and use tax and a higher rate on one product as raising the sales tax under the published rule; the repealed exemptions are named.
- · Properly fund the fire suppression account (Brad Little)
Rescored under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-plan lines: the request was for the fiscal year 2025 supplemental and the fiscal year 2026 budget, both now enacted, so the score is final. $72,877,200 of $100,000,000 was enacted, all one-time; status changed from in-progress to mostly.
- · At least $10 billion in new property tax relief (Greg Abbott)
Status changed from kept to mostly kept. The card rested on the governor's office figure of $10 billion in new funding. The Legislative Budget Board's summary of the enacted budget and the budget's Rider 76 show that $3.5 billion of that amount maintains the property tax cuts made in 2023. Under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 (money that maintains an earlier cut is not new), about $6.5 billion of the $10 billion promised is new relief: 65%.
- · $50 million a year for two years for kauhale development (Josh Green)
The summary now states that the legislature refused the $50 million-a-year request itself (conference worksheet: "Legislature does not concur") and that the money counted came through the capital budget and Act 309 of 2025. The fiscal 2026 total was corrected from about $42.8 million to about $43.0 million ($24.4 million plus $18.575 million). The approval of Act 309 is now sourced to Governor’s Message No. 1422 instead of a bill-status page that could not be re-opened. Amount and status unchanged ($85.3 million of $100 million, mostly kept).
- · The largest investment in water in Texas history (Greg Abbott)
Summary now states that the sales-tax dedication under HJR 7 takes effect September 1, 2027, after the current term ends; the effective-date provision is quoted. Status unchanged (kept): a measure enacted in the term counts even if it takes effect later.
- · Tie generic and off-patent drug price increases to inflation (Ned Lamont)
Added to the timeline: two federal suits against the price cap (filed October 2025), the December 24, 2025 order denying a preliminary injunction in one of them, and the notice of appeal. Status unchanged (kept).
- · Put a down payment on ending veteran homelessness in the budget and create a Homes for Heroes Fund (Katie Hobbs)
Status changed from No action yet to Mostly kept (1 of 2 parts). "My executive budget will include" is scored as a request for that fiscal year's budget, final when the budget is enacted, as on the other budget cards of this scorecard. The card had also left out the $1.5 million homeless veterans' services line in the enacted FY 2026 budget.
- · $150 million from the ending fund balance to dedicated wildfire reserves instead of the Rainy Day Fund (Tina Kotek)
Rescored from Mostly kept to Broken. The promise is for dedicated wildfire suppression reserves; the card had counted a $150 million appropriation for natural disasters of any kind as that reserve. The law does not restrict that money to wildfire suppression, so that part is not delivered, and the ending-balance part was already not delivered. Also corrected the arithmetic: the 2026 budget report lists the appropriation at $147.5 million before the $65.3 million reduction, leaving $82.2 million.
- · Propose $100 million for a regional water supply strategy (Duck River) (Bill Lee)
Summary now says where each figure comes from: $62.3 million is computed from the act's lines ($100,000,000 less $35,000,000, $1,500,000 and $1,200,000); the governor's office release says $62.2 million. The release and the act's $100,000,000 line are added as sources. Amount and status unchanged.
- · New state funding for the Tradepoint Atlantic project (Wes Moore)
Evidence added, status unchanged (kept): the change from $15 million to $16 million is now quoted from Amendment No. 12 printed in the enrolled budget bill, and the Department of Legislative Services' totals ($16,000,000 fiscal 2025 deficiency, $22,000,000 fiscal 2026) are quoted from the 90 Day Report.
- · Required, direct assistance for districts whose numbers show failure (Tina Kotek)
Rescored from Kept to In progress. The promise is that there will be required help when a district's numbers show failure; the requirement is law, but under section 6 of the act no district can be required to accept coaching before the 2028-2029 school year, so it has not yet been applied. This is the same reading used for the financial literacy card. Removed a quoted early literacy sentence that was already law before Senate Bill 141 and replaced it with text the act added. Removed a drafting note from the summary.
- · Close corporate tax loopholes to lower the corporate tax rate (Wes Moore)
Wording clarified and evidence added, status unchanged (no action yet): the card now states the rule it rests on, that "this year, we have put forward a commonsense package for tax reform" dates the proposal and sets no deadline for enactment. Added: the rate cut in the bill as introduced (8.25% to 8.12% to 7.99%) and the current statute, which still sets 8.25%.
- · $10.8 million for family assessment centers, Housing First, Rapid Re-housing, homeless outreach and civil legal services (Josh Green)
Status changed from mostly kept (3 of 5 parts) to kept. The legislature's conference worksheet itemizes the homeless services program: it concurred in all four lines of the governor's request, including homeless outreach services, $10.8 million a year in both years. The request is one amount and is now scored on the money enacted for it; the parts were removed. The executive budget names the fourth item "homeless outreach and civil legal services"; no line is titled civil legal services alone, and the card says so.
- · $30 million over two years to continue the HELP healthcare loan repayment program (Josh Green)
The card was kept on the governor's release alone. The executive budget's request ($15 million a year for the program) and the legislature's conference worksheet (a $15 million-a-year executive request in the same Department of Health program, concurred) were added as primary records; the worksheet line does not name the program and the card says so. A $625,000 cut to the same program in the 2026 supplemental budget is disclosed. Status unchanged (kept).
- · Fund college credits in high school and expand scholarships to associate's degrees and non-degree credentials (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Replaced three quotes that were not text the act added: two were existing law and one was text the act repealed (the act repeals the Arkansas Concurrent Challenge Scholarship and creates the ACCESS to Acceleration Scholarship; the earlier summary said it created the former). The card now lists three parts, each resting on added text. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · Professors, tenured or not, who indoctrinate instead of educating can be terminated (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Status changed from Kept to No action yet. The promise is that a professor "can be terminated"; the act provides remedial training, removal of tenure status or other action under a college's own policy, and adds no provision for termination. A lesser sanction is not delivery.
- · One college application and one fee for any state-supported college or university (Sarah Huckabee Sanders)
Removed a sentence saying the portal would be phased in for private-school, home-school and GED students over two years: the cited release does not say so. Added the release's figure for private institutions. Status unchanged (Kept).
- · $110 million to build and renovate child care centers (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from kept to mostly: the enacted capital projects act appropriates $100,000,000 of the $110 million promised; no appropriation for the other $10 million was found in the FY2026 budget acts.
- · Eliminate licensing fees for nurses and the trades (Ned Lamont)
Added to the timeline: PA 25-168 (sections 415-433, signed June 30, 2025) had eliminated application fees for select healthcare and educational professions before this address. Status unchanged (broken): the 2026 budget's further fee eliminations were not enacted.
- · Make another sizeable deposit in the childcare endowment (Ned Lamont)
Summary and timeline now state that the Comptroller's fiscal year 2026 figures are preliminary and not fully audited (final audited statements due by December 31, 2026). Status unchanged (kept).
- · Send families an energy rebate of about $400 (Ned Lamont)
Status changed broken -> no-action under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10: "I propose X" with no budget wording of its own has no deadline, and "for this year" in the sentence describes the revenue, not the proposal. The facts are unchanged: no rebate has been enacted.
- · Create a $100 million Federal Response Fund (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from broken to no action yet: "I'm proposing to create a Federal Response Fund" names no fiscal year, so under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-address proposals it has no deadline before the term ends. The summary and the context now agree.
- · Sustainable, recurring mass transit funding starting in 2027 (Josh Shapiro)
Rescored from no action yet to broken: the sentence ties the change to the 2026-27 budget ("This budget calls for"), so under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10 on budget-address proposals it is final now that that budget is enacted without it.
- · Extend the federal-cuts backfill fund through the next fiscal year (Ned Lamont)
Added a sourced timeline entry for the additional $50 million that PA 26-68 (section 259) transferred to the Federal Cuts Response Fund, which the summary already stated. Status unchanged (kept).
- · An additional $340 million for public schools in the budget (Bill Lee)
Rescored from kept to mostly (amount $232.1 million of $340 million, 68%). The earlier score rested on the governor's office figure of $339 million. The administration's own itemization of that figure includes $80 million labeled FY26 base funding, and the enacted act (Public Chapter 1142) reduces the TISA increase by $24.5 million; the act's lines show $232.1 million of new money for public schools. Education Freedom Scholarships are a separate line and were never part of the figure.
- · Raise Charlotte Hall Veterans Home to a five-star rating (Wes Moore)
Source citation updated, status unchanged (kept): CMS replaced its August 2026 data, so the quoted processing date of August 1, 2026 was no longer on the live page. The card now cites the data with processing date September 1, 2026 (overall rating 5, CCN 215161) and an archived copy of it, and quotes text that does not change monthly.
- · Readjust the request for federal spending authority after the $189 million Rural Health Transformation award (Larry Rhoden)
Wording and sourcing reviewed; status unchanged (Kept). The summary now states plainly that the change to $402 million was made by a committee amendment moved by a legislator, that the Governor's Office appears in the minutes as a proponent, that the bill was at the request of the Department of Health, and that no record read shows who asked for the $402 million figure. It no longer says the original $500 million was sized to $100 million a year, which no record read states. A drafting note was removed from the explanation.
- · A moratorium on new landfills and a community-input siting process (Kelly Ayotte)
Scored from the law and the bill dockets (was under review): the siting-process part is delivered by HB 707 of 2026, chapter 288; no moratorium has been enacted. Status: in progress. The earlier summary said the bill text could not be reached; it was read on 2026-10-10.
- · Ask the Legislature for property tax relief in 2026 (Phil Scott)
Added that the higher income threshold for the property tax credit begins in fiscal year 2028, and added the Joint Fiscal Office record that describes the $100.9 million Education Fund transfer as property tax relief. Status unchanged.
- · Present a budget within thirteen days, funded without new taxes (Phil Scott)
Added three 2026 acts the earlier check did not name: Act 168 (a new mileage-based user fee of 1.4 cents per mile on battery electric cars), Act 170 (new property tax classifications with no rate set) and Act 148 (tobacco license fees; nicotine pouches named in an existing tobacco tax category). None imposes a new tax, so the status is unchanged. The check now covers the text of every act signed in 2026.
- · Make transfers for additional property tax relief later in 2026 (Jim Pillen)
Added the governor's January 15, 2026 budget recommendation, which shows the line refers to proposed new transfers of $170 million a year, not to transfers already in law; stated the reading of "additional"; searches re-run October 10, 2026. Status unchanged.
- · Balance the budget without cutting public schools (Brad Little)
Rescored under the scoring rule of 2026-10-10: "X without Y" is one commitment with one condition, and a cut is an enacted reduction of the total appropriation, all funds. The budget was balanced, but the FY2026 Public School Support total was reduced after the address from $3,111,556,200 to $3,096,989,700 (Senate Bill 1331), so the status changed from mostly to broken. The FY2027 total rose.
- · Adopt the Arizona Capacity and Efficiency Initiative (cost savings) (Katie Hobbs)
Status unchanged (In progress). The card now scores the sentence in two parts (the initiative, shown; the cost savings measures, not yet shown), states that the initiative is funded with federal American Rescue Plan Act money rather than a state appropriation, and says the Legislature's budget report does not name it.
- · Sign the Middle Class Tax Cuts Package (Katie Hobbs)
Added the Governor's January 16, 2026 veto of SB 1106, an earlier bill that carried the same tips and overtime deduction text. The status is unchanged: the card is scored on whether the package's substance was signed into law in the term, and it was on June 13, 2026.
- · Keep the 2026 income tax cuts and pause the cuts planned for 2027 through 2029 (Josh Green)
The bill-status pages could not be re-opened. The approval of Act 24 is now sourced to Governor’s Message No. 1124 and the list of 2026 acts, and the bill’s filing to its own text, which is stamped January 26, 2026 (the card had said introduced January 28). Status unchanged (in progress).
- · Not sign a budget, education bill or tax bill that deviates from Act 73 (Phil Scott)
Rescored from broken to under review. The earlier score used a definition of "deviates from Act 73" that the card supplied; the pledge and the address give no test of their own. The signing of H.955 stays on the timeline. Also corrected the sentence that said H.955 replaced new district lines: Act 73 drew no lines, it stated an intent to enact new districts in the 2026 session.
- · Pass the governor's 2026 budget proposal (Jim Pillen)
Rescored kept -> mostly. Kept rested on the governor's own release. The promise names what the budget is to deliver (tax relief to homeowners, farmers and ranchers), so it is now scored in two parts. The budget bills passed; the $170 million a year in added property tax relief transfers in the governor's January 2026 recommendation was not enacted, and the Legislative Fiscal Office report shows the transfers to both property tax credit funds were reduced.
- · Use $600 million of the restored revenue for food security and child care (Josh Green)
The bill-status pages could not be re-opened. The approval of Act 24 is now sourced to Governor’s Message No. 1124 and the list of 2026 acts, and the bill’s filing to its own text, which is stamped January 26, 2026 (the card had said introduced January 28). Status unchanged (no action yet).
- · Pilot community-wide child care for newborns to 3-year-olds this year (Kathy Hochul)
Summary now states the deadline (December 31, 2026) and that the governor's January 14, 2026 release puts the first pilot seats in 2027. Status unchanged.
- · Add funds to the Business Innovation Act and invest them through private-sector partners (Jim Pillen)
Corrected a figure: the program's prior General Fund aid was $11,020,352 (about $11.0 million), not roughly $11.7 million, which was the adjacent table row. Status unchanged.
- · Establish Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics statewide and create regional EMS hubs (Larry Rhoden)
Summary corrected: it said both parts were still deliverable before the term ends in January 2027. The state's own EMS initiative summary schedules regional hubs by 2027 and full statewide coverage by 2030; that source is added. Status unchanged (In progress).
- · Close housing financing gaps: targeted funds for smaller projects and direct support to make local sites build-ready (JB Pritzker)
Status changed from Kept to In progress. The promise's words are funds for projects and direct support to local communities; the money has been appropriated but no funding notice or award was found. This is the same reading applied to the vocational training grant promise from the same address.
- · A $25 million Learning Loss Opportunity Scholarship Grant in the amended FY2023 budget (Brian Kemp)
Rescored from kept to broken: the 2026-10-04 ruling scores promises to propose on enactment (the item was proposed but enacted at $0).
- · $15 million in state funds for $3,000 reimbursable grants to help paraprofessionals become certified teachers (Brian Kemp)
Rescored from kept to partial: the 2026-10-04 ruling scores promises to propose on enactment ($5 million of the $15 million proposed was enacted).
- · Idaho Launch: an $8,500 scholarship for graduating seniors, starting next year (Brad Little)
Shortfall recorded as amount {8500, 8000} under the 50% amount ruling (replaces the "$8,500 per student" part); status unchanged (mostly).
- · Raise starting teacher pay again, into the top 10 states (Brad Little)
Top-10 part re-scored against the NEA starting teacher pay ranking (Idaho 24th in 2023-24, 33rd in 2024-25); status changed from kept to mostly.
- · Firmly establish the Office of Wellness & Resilience within the Governor’s Office (Josh Green)
Status changed from mostly (1 of 2 parts) to broken. "Within the Governor’s Office" says where the office is established; it is not a separate deliverable, so the card has no parts. The law the governor signed placed the office in the Department of Human Services and repealed the Governor’s-office statute, which is the opposite of the promised placement.
- · Add $75 million to the Eastern Kentucky SAFE Fund and $10 million to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (Andy Beshear)
Status changed from partial (amount 85M/5M) to broken: the House Bill 900 deposit is for fiscal years 2026-2028, outside the 2024-2026 budget the line named, so nothing was delivered for the request.
- · DHS modular transitional homes on Maui: an additional 480 temporary homes (Josh Green)
Scored as an amount shortfall (amount 450 of 480) instead of two parts, under the amount rule (half or more of the amount is mostly kept); status unchanged (mostly).
- · Next phase of the Green Affordability Plan: more tax relief, including a child and dependent tax credit (Josh Green)
PromiseText corrected to the transcript’s spelling ("Hawaii"); 2026 HB 2306 / Act 24 outcome added; status unchanged.
- · Her FY2025 budget puts Kansas on track to fully fund special education (Laura Kelly)
Status changed from mostly (amount 74.9/65.5) to kept: the spoken line names no amount, and the Budget Division reports an incremental $75.0 million added and approved in 2024 as the first step of the plan.
- · "House Hawai‘i’s ‘Ohana": tax amnesty for short-term rental owners who sell to local families (Josh Green)
Status changed from no-action to broken. The plan’s stated start (fall 2024) passed with nothing enacted, and the governor’s own bills set a sale window that closed on January 1, 2026 (stated deadline passed with nothing delivered = broken, the scoring rule of 2026-10-04). promise quote corrected to the transcript’s spelling ("House Hawaii’s Ohana").
- · Put early childhood services under one roof: the Office of Early Childhood (Laura Kelly)
Re-sourced from the 2025 address to the 2024 address, where the commitment first appears inside the first-5 window; outcomes unchanged.
- · Keep driving the Second Avenue Subway, I-81 Viaduct and Kensington Expressway projects (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from kept to mostly (2 of 3 parts): the Kensington Expressway project was enjoined by the Erie County Supreme Court on February 7, 2025.
- · Build pools in underserved communities (NY SWIMS) (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from kept to in-progress: the record shows grants awarded for pool construction, not completed pools.
- · Approve a DHS emergency rule strengthening Wisconsin's lead standards (Tony Evers)
The draft cited EmR2501, which is a DNR walleye-harvest rule. The DHS lead rule is EmR2502; dates corrected (approved January 23, 2025, effective January 31, 2025).
- · Properly fund the fire suppression account (Brad Little)
H 968 (2026) section 6 adds at least $32,877,200 to the fund; parts replaced by amount {100,000,000, 72,877,200}; no deadline in the line and ongoing funding still open in the term, so status changed from partial to in-progress.
- · Additional bonuses to hire and retain wildland firefighters (Brad Little)
Bonus funding found in the FY2026 Department of Lands appropriation (H 444, line item 20); status changed from under-review to kept.
- · A budget that reduces state funding by $1 billion (FY 2025-26) (Jeff Landry)
Status changed from partial (amount $1B/$280.9M, general fund only) to broken: "state funding" means state money as a whole (total state effort), which rose $1.3 billion in the enacted FY 2025-26 budget.
- · Inflation refund checks: $300 for individuals, $500 for families (Kathy Hochul)
The promise quote was extended to the contiguous sentences that state the promised amounts ($300/$500), which the card scores.
- · $10.8 million for family assessment centers, Housing First, Rapid Re-housing, homeless outreach and civil legal services (Josh Green)
Checked whether outreach and civil legal services sit inside the program budget: HMS224 is a single program total in Act 250 and no proviso itemizes them; a $20,000 legal-assistance grant-in-aid exists but is not identifiable as the requested item. Parts unchanged (3 of 5), status unchanged.
- · Balance the budget without cutting public schools (Brad Little)
No-cut part scored against the enacted FY2027 public schools appropriation (2026 Legislative Fiscal Report); status changed from under-review to mostly.
- · Keep the 2026 income tax cuts and pause the cuts planned for 2027 through 2029 (Josh Green)
The earlier "nothing enacted" outcome was wrong (the LRB index lists Act 24 of 2026 only under tax credits). Added the governor’s bill (HB 2306 / SB 3125) and Act 24 of 2026; status stays in-progress with the parts re-sourced.
- · Use $600 million of the restored revenue for food security and child care (Josh Green)
Summary corrected (Act 24 of 2026 did change the scheduled rates; the earlier summary said the pause was not enacted at all); HB 2306 and Act 24 outcomes added; status unchanged.
- · Pilot community-wide child care for newborns to 3-year-olds this year (Kathy Hochul)
Rescored from kept to in-progress: the sources show the pilot announced and funded, not yet operating; the 2026 deadline has not passed.
- · Bring the Chicago Bears to Indiana (Mike Braun)
Status changed from kept to in-progress: the team has announced a Hammond stadium but has not moved to Indiana, so "bring the Chicago Bears to the Hoosier State" is not yet delivered.
- · Continue redeveloping public housing such as Mayor Wright Homes through Ka Lei Momi (Josh Green)
Republished as commitment 5 of the 2026 address after another line was found not to be a commitment; Act 175 section 26.1 (Phase 1B financing) added as the in-term action.
- · Her budget keeps increasing special education funding (Laura Kelly)
Status changed from partial (amount 50.6/6.0) to kept: the spoken line ("my budget will continue to increase this investment") names no amount, and the enacted FY2027 budget increased special education aid (ruling on lines that name no amount, as on Dunleavy 27).
- · Pass a reconciliation package that extends the 2017 tax relief (John Thune)
Promise wording taken from the Congressional Record, which reads "to extend the tax relief"; the card previously quoted "to expand the tax relief" from the office release. The score is unchanged.
