Fully KeptFact-checker reviewConfidence: 85%

The promise is effort-framed ("keep pushing" legislation providing relief to ND agricultural producers and "keep working to advance a farm bill"), and all three cited PRIMARY sources were reachable and support that outcome with the quotes appearing verbatim. Relief-legislation prong: the July 28, 2021 release confirms Cramer as a LEAD sponsor of the bipartisan CRP Flexibility Act (emergency haying of CRP acres for drought relief), and the Dec 21, 2024 release documents his vote for a CR delivering ~$31 billion in disaster/economic aid to producers. Farm-bill prong: the Nov 15, 2023 release documents his vote to extend the 2018 Farm Bill and his stated dedication to comprehensive reauthorization; the Dec 21, 2024 release documents another one-year extension. Cramer sustained both efforts, so the promise was kept. It is FULL rather than CHAMPIONED because no comprehensive farm-bill reauthorization was ever enacted (only serial one-year extensions) and that reauthorization is Ag Committee leadership-driven, not Cramer-led — his real leadership (lead sponsorship) attaches only to the relief-legislation prong, not across the whole promise. Not downgraded below FULL because effort-framed promises are satisfied by demonstrated sustained pushing/working, which the sources establish.
