Occurrences
Evidence
The issue page states that Congresswoman Brown "remain[s] committed to supporting legislation that protects our pregnant workers and mothers" and says she will advocate for comprehensive protections for pregnant workers, along with broader reproductive-health protections.
Assessments
Brown's stated commitment was to support legislation protecting pregnant workers and mothers. During her federal House tenure, Congress enacted H.R.2617, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which included both the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act. Brown voted yea on the final House concurrence vote on December 23, 2022, and the bill became Public Law 117-328 on December 29, 2022. Because the promise was framed as supporting such legislation rather than personally originating it, her affirmative vote on enacted legislation directly matching the promised protections is enough for full delivery in her same congressional term.
