Evidence

Congressman Hoyer is focused on taking additional steps to ensure equal pay for equal work and set more women on a path of economic success beyond COVID-19. He was pleased to bring the Paycheck Fairness Act to the House Floor earlier this year to close the gender pay gap and ensure that equal pay means equal work.

His campaign site states the promise and points to his support for Paycheck Fairness Act action as the concrete step taken.

Ms. DeLauro (for herself, ... Mr. Hoyer, ... ) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform ... Bill Version: Introduced in House (IH). Short Title: Paycheck Fairness Act.

In the current Congress, Hoyer is among the listed cosponsors of the Paycheck Fairness Act, but the bill is still only introduced and referred to committee, so the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Hoyer took concrete federal legislative steps toward the promise: he was an original cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, helped advance it to the House floor, and the House passed it in 2021. However, the bill failed in the Senate and did not become law, and the later 119th Congress version remains only introduced/referred. Because the promised outcome was to ensure equal pay and close the gender pay gap, the available evidence shows a serious same-term effort but not delivery of the substantive outcome.
