Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Pressley made serious federal legislative attempts by sponsoring federal job guarantee resolutions in the 117th and 118th Congresses, including H.Res.145 in 2021 and H.Res.1011 in 2024. Those measures only reached introduction and committee referral and did not become law. More recent 119th Congress job guarantee bills also appear limited to introduced/referral status and are pilot-grant proposals sponsored by other members, not enactment of a universal federal job guarantee. The promised outcome has therefore not been delivered, but the legislative effort merits an effort badge.

never same_term A for effort

Pressley made concrete legislative attempts by introducing federal job guarantee resolutions in the 117th and 118th Congresses, including H.Res.145 in 2021 and H.Res.1011 in 2024. The evidence shows both measures remained at introduction or committee referral and did not become enacted federal policy. Because the promised outcome was enactment of a federal job guarantee, the outcome was not delivered despite serious legislative effort.
