Samuel Bruce Graves Jr. received graded promises on his record, with 9 kept and 1 broken out of 14 assessed commitments (64% kept).
His most significant broken promise: "Hold the line on federal spending." This fiscal commitment went unfulfilled during his tenure.
We don't yet have detailed data on his top donor industries or how his votes align with those funders. Similarly, we lack a full accounting of which bills he sponsored or voted for during this period, and the bundle does not include specific donor committee names or dollar figures tied to his fundraising.
His record shows he kept promises in other areas — 9 commitments were met, and 4 were partially fulfilled — but the spending pledge stands as a notable gap between his stated fiscal position and his voting record.
Narrated from FEC + Congress.gov receipts. Every figure traces to our data.
Jr. kept 64% of 14 promises tracked for the 2025–2027 term. Each verdict is term-scoped, primary-sourced, and reviewed by three sequential reviewers (neutral · conservative · progressive).
