Rep. Sewell said the Supreme Court decision cleared the way for President Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting and stated: "I will keep fighting to protect the right to vote and ensure every eligible American can make their voice heard."

GovInfo lists H.R. 14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025, in the 119th Congress; the action says Ms. Sewell introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The full title says it would amend the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Assessments
Sewell has taken same-term, candidate-creditable action toward the promise by introducing H.R. 14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025, and publicly continuing to oppose voting-access restrictions. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to committee, and the promised policy outcome of protecting voting rights and ensuring eligible Americans can vote has not been enacted or fully secured. This merits partial credit for concrete effort, not full delivery.
