Scholten has taken a concrete legislative step in support of paid family and medical leave by cosponsoring the FAMILY Act, but the bill remains only introduced.

The bill text states: 'To provide paid family and medical leave benefits to certain individuals' and cites the short title 'Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act' or 'FAMILY Act.' Section 4 creates family and medical leave insurance benefit payments.

The text confirms the legislation Scholten cosponsored is substantively about paid family and medical leave benefits, not merely a symbolic or unrelated measure.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Scholten promised to continue fighting for paid family and medical leave, which is an advocacy/legislative-effort commitment rather than a promise to enact a law herself. During her federal House service she cosponsored the FAMILY Act in the 118th Congress and was an original cosponsor of the 119th Congress version, legislation directly creating paid family and medical leave benefits. Although the bills had not been enacted, her same-term cosponsorship is a concrete action matching the promised continued fight.

The promise was framed as continuing to fight for paid family and medical leave, not guaranteeing enactment. During the same federal term, Scholten cosponsored H.R. 5390, the FAMILY Act, which would establish paid family and medical leave benefits. Congress.gov shows the bill remains introduced and referred to committee rather than enacted, so this does not prove the policy outcome became law, but it does satisfy the advocacy/legislative-effort promise in the relevant office context.
