The promise was to support the Clean Transportation Jobs and Development Act, not necessarily secure enactment. During her current Senate term, Catherine Cortez Masto introduced S. 5220, the Clean Transportation Jobs and Development Act of 2026, and publicly promoted a clean transportation bill package matching the promised substance: critical minerals, battery manufacturing and recycling, and battery R&D for range and affordability. The bill had only been referred to committee, but formal sponsorship and public advocacy satisfy the stated commitment to support the named legislation.
