Evidence
Steve Scalise is fighting to promote fiscal discipline, create good-paying jobs, protect our freedoms, and get our economy back on track.
House Republican Whip Steve Scalise joined colleagues to introduce the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act, describing it as a way to support good-paying American jobs. The bill was introduced, but Congress.gov later shows H.R. 684 remained at the introduced stage and was referred to subcommittee.
The bill’s status is Introduced. The actions show referral to subcommittee and no enactment; the summary says the bill authorizes the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Scalise's office said he joined other House Republicans to introduce the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act, and Scalise said he was proud to co-sponsor legislation that stands up for American jobs and energy security.
Congress.gov bill text lists H.R. 684 as the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act; the introduced bill named Mr. Scalise among those for whom Mr. Armstrong introduced the bill, and it would authorize the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Scalise, Steve [R-LA-1] as a cosponsor of H.R. 684 on 02/02/2021.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 684's latest action was referral to the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources on 02/25/2021 and states that the bill has the status Introduced.
Assessments
The evidence shows Scalise made a concrete jobs-related legislative effort by cosponsoring and promoting H.R. 684, the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act. However, Congress.gov records show the bill remained introduced/referred and did not become law, and the campaign-site statement alone does not establish actual job creation attributable to Scalise. Because there was serious effort but no delivered federal outcome shown, the promise is not fulfilled.
The campaign promise was broad, but the provided fulfillment evidence identifies only a concrete jobs-related legislative effort: Scalise helped introduce the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act to support good-paying jobs. Congress.gov shows that bill remained introduced/referred and was not enacted. Because the evidence shows a serious federal legislative attempt but no delivered jobs-creation outcome attributable to Scalise, the promise is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
The campaign promise was to create good-paying jobs. The available fulfillment evidence shows Scalise supported a concrete jobs-related legislative effort, H.R. 684 on Keystone XL, but the bill remained introduced/referred and did not become law. Because the promised outcome is not shown to have been delivered, but there was a serious legislative attempt, the outcome is never with an effort badge.
