"China has a playbook: control manufacturing and hold the world hostage. This week's vote brings us one step closer to giving Washington the facts we need to counter their strategy," said Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger. "We’ve watched Beijing run this same play on critical minerals and shipbuilding, and now they're setting their sights on the U.S. automotive industry. As vehicles become more connected and software-driven, that's not just an economic threat, it's a national security threat and a risk to the data of every American behind the wheel. I want to thank Chairman Guthrie and my colleague Congresswoman Dingell for their partnership on this bipartisan bill, and I'll keep pushing to get it signed into law."
Continue pushing to get the Automotive National and Economic Security Act of 2026 signed into law.

Assessments
The verified commitment was to keep pushing to get the Automotive National and Economic Security Act of 2026 signed into law. Verified evidence shows Harshbarger introduced the bill and that the committee agreed to it unanimously, which documents material same-term effort by the candidate. However, the verified evidence does not show the bill was signed into law, and no deadline has expired as of 2026-10-07. An attempt without enactment is unresolved for this promised outcome.
