"Stand & Deliver's" tracking process will span the full four-year term, although updates will be made only after the end of each legislative session. The tracking presented here includes only introduced bills and not necessarily amendments to bills whose original introduction was not associated with an original platform promise. "Stand & Deliver" encourages visitors to contribute information and discussion about the tracking process.
