"Voting is a Constitutionally protected right and I’ll fight to make sure every eligible voter can make their voice heard. I am proud to introduce legislation that does exactly that."
Val understands the clear role of the federal government in protecting this fundamental right, and continue to fight for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, ending Citizens United and cracking down on corporate dark money in our elections, and passage of the For the People Act to protect voting rights and reduce the influence of money in politics.

Congress.gov lists H.R.14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025, as introduced on 2025-03-05 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, with status Introduced. Rep. Val T. Hoyle is listed as an original cosponsor. The official title amends the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the CRS summary says the bill establishes new criteria for jurisdictions to obtain preclearance before voting-practice changes may take effect.
Assessments
Hoyle has taken direct federal legislative action in the later term by sponsoring H.R.2847, the Vote at Home Act of 2025, and original-cosponsoring H.R.14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025. Both measures address the promised outcome by expanding mail voting, automatic voter registration, and voting-rights protections. However, the relevant bills remain at introduced/referred-to-committee status and have not become law, so the promised outcome has not yet been delivered. Because the legislation is still in the active 119th Congress, unresolved is more appropriate than never, with an effort badge for serious legislative action.
