Protect our freedoms.
Occurrences
Steve is fighting to promote fiscal discipline, create good-paying jobs, protect our freedoms, and get our economy back on track.
Evidence
The campaign homepage says Steve Scalise is "working hard to promote fiscal discipline, create good-paying jobs, protect our freedoms, and get our economy back on track."
Scalise said the SAVE America Act would protect the integrity of elections and prevent voter fraud, and tied that work to preserving the "sacred right to vote."
The office announced House passage of the SAVE America Act and said Republicans had acted to protect the sanctity of the vote, while emphasizing the bill would defend the freedoms of citizens whose votes might otherwise be diluted or stolen.
The House Rules Committee repository shows the SAVE America Act was taken up for a committee meeting on February 10, 2026, with legislative text, comparative print, and hearing documents posted.
GovInfo records H.R. 8281 as a bill to require proof of United States citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, with Steve Scalise listed as a cosponsor.
Assessments
The promise to "Protect our freedoms" is too broad to verify as a completed federal outcome without a specific deliverable. Scalise did materially advance related legislation, including election-integrity bills such as the SAVE America Act and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, and the House advanced at least one measure during his current federal term. But the evidence does not show enactment or a completed policy outcome that would fully satisfy the broad promise.
The promise to "protect our freedoms" is broad and lacks a concrete completion standard. The available evidence shows Scalise made serious legislative efforts tied to that theme, including backing election-integrity measures such as the SAVE America Act and H.R. 8281, with some House action. However, the evidence does not show enactment or a completed policy outcome that fulfills the promise. Under the instruction for serious attempts that fail to deliver the promised outcome, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
