Occurrences
Evidence
The campaign priorities page says Congressman García supports the Green New Deal because the U.S. must reduce reliance on fossil fuels and move toward a renewable energy economy with strategies for workers and small businesses.
Congress.gov lists Jesús G. "Chuy" García as a cosponsor of H.Res.332, and the page shows the resolution’s status remained Introduced after referral to subcommittee.
Congress.gov shows the Green New Deal resolution was introduced and referred to subcommittee, with the bill status marked Introduced; Jesús G. "Chuy" García appears among the cosponsors on the resolution’s Congress.gov record.
Assessments
García fulfilled the support/action portion of the promise by cosponsoring Green New Deal resolutions in Congress during the relevant term. However, the promised broader outcome of moving the economy away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy through Green New Deal-style policy was not enacted through those resolutions, which remained introduced/referred and did not become law. This is therefore partial delivery with a clear legislative effort.
