Congresswoman Dingell helped spearhead a bipartisan legislative effort... [that] introduced the Connected Vehicle Security Act, legislation that would prohibit the importation, manufacture, and sale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China.
“This bipartisan legislation will ban Chinese vehicles from coming into our country... The future of the American auto industry must be built by American workers.”

It’s my priority to be a voice for the Midwest on issues that matter most to working families. We must all work together to improve access to quality and affordable healthcare, grow manufacturing, support seniors and veterans, and protect the environment including the Great Lakes.
Evidence
The official House release says Dingell called on the president not to let China manufacture in the U.S. or let Chinese car companies disrupt the American auto industry, and says she helped spearhead the bipartisan Connected Vehicle Security Act to prohibit the import, manufacture, and sale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China.
Assessments
The promise is broad and ongoing, and the cited evidence shows Dingell took concrete same-term action to protect domestic auto manufacturing and workers by publicly pressing the administration and helping spearhead legislation aimed at blocking Chinese-linked connected vehicles and components. That materially advances the promise, especially on Southeast Michigan auto interests, but it does not establish that American manufacturing was rebuilt or that the broader worker-protection outcome was fully delivered. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
