Evidence

"In Congress, I support the vitality of working families through fair and democratic access to union representation."

Official campaign/office issue page states McCollum’s support for fair and democratic access to union representation for working families, directly matching the claim.

McCollum announced her support for legislation introduced by House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro that would fund critical components of DHS without additional funding for ICE or CBP.

Within the lookback window, McCollum took concrete legislative/oversight action on a labor-adjacent issue cluster, showing continued active advocacy; however, this does not directly prove union-representation delivery.

McCollum reiterated her opposition to Trump-era chaos and division in an official statement after the State of the Union.

This is recent official messaging but it does not specifically advance or reverse the union-representation claim; it only supports that McCollum remained publicly active in the term.

McCollum said the bipartisan appropriations measures "will now become law when the president signs it."

Shows McCollum’s continued federal legislative work in the same term, but it is unrelated to union representation and does not establish delivery or failure of the labor claim.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The promise is framed as support, not a specific enacted policy outcome. The strongest evidence is McCollum’s official labor issue page explicitly stating, 'In Congress, I support the vitality of working families through fair and democratic access to union representation,' which directly matches the promise and shows ongoing same-term advocacy. However, the record provided does not show a concrete enacted federal result that materially expanded union representation access, nor specific legislative passage attributable to her on this point. Because she clearly maintained and expressed support but the evidence does not establish full policy delivery, partial credit is the best fit.
