Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Independent re-check confirms the prior rating's substance. VERIFIED PRIMARY SOURCES: (1) Senate Roll Call 119-1-366 (July 1, 2025) - Shaheen amendment 'To repeal amendments that terminate certain clean energy credits' - fetched live, rejected 49-51, Alsobrooks YEA. (2) Senate Roll Call 119-1-364 - 'To maintain parity for wind and solar facilities under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986' - fetched live, rejected 47-53, Alsobrooks YEA. (3) Senate Roll Call 119-1-372 - final passage of H.R.1, passed 50-50 with the Vice President voting Yea; Alsobrooks NAY (H.R.1 terminated the IRA clean-energy credits). (4) govinfo text of S.2681 as introduced ('Lowering Electric Bills Act,' Schumer) lists 'Ms. Alsobrooks' among the cosponsors; the bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance and has had no further action. So she genuinely voted for and joined measures to preserve/restore clean-energy tax credits, and none of them landed - the textbook definition of ATTEMPTED. ADVERSARIAL CHECKS RUN. Upward pressure (CHAMPIONED) rejected: she has sponsored no clean-energy tax-credit bill of her own and led nothing; she is one of ~34 names in a leadership-drafted cosponsor list. Downward pressure (IGNORED) rejected: recorded floor votes plus cosponsorship on the exact subject is real engagement, not absence. PARTIAL rejected: nothing was enacted and the 'vocal advocate' element itself was not delivered. The 'vocal' element is independently confirmed as UNMET: searches of her own Senate site for 'clean energy' and 'energy' return no clean-energy tax-credit or climate advocacy (only unrelated hits), and her own H.R.1 statement ('Alsobrooks Votes NO on Republicans' Callous Bill') never mentions energy, clean energy, or climate - it argues healthcare, SNAP, and tax breaks for the wealthy. The SECOND half of the promise - aligning federal purchases of buildings and vehicles with emission-reduction goals - is untouched: a site search for federal buildings / vehicles / emissions returns 'It seems we can't find what you're looking for,' and no procurement, fleet, or federal-building-emissions legislation is attributable to her. This is not a lack of opportunity: she sits on the Environment and Public Works Committee, which holds jurisdiction over public buildings. PARTY-NEUTRALITY TEST: a senator of either party who cast several failed floor votes in a promise's direction, joined a stalled bill as one of many cosponsors, produced zero public advocacy on it, and never touched the promise's second component would receive ATTEMPTED under the same standard. The label is neither leniently inflated nor harshly deflated. ONE SOURCING CORRECTION to the prior rating: it quoted the congress.gov cosponsor line as 'Sen. Alsobrooks, Angela D. [D-MD]* 08/02/2025' (day-of-introduction original cosponsor). A retrieval of that same congress.gov page reports her cosponsorship date as 09/03/2025 with 33 of 39 cosponsors original, which conflicts with the asterisked quote. The govinfo text of the bill as introduced does list her, so she is unambiguously a cosponsor; the exact date is unresolved and immaterial to the outcome. The verified govinfo primary source is substituted for that citation. Confidence held at 0.76 rather than higher because the second half of the finding rests on absence-of-evidence and because she is a first-term senator whose record is still short.
