Pappas made concrete legislative efforts consistent with the promise to fight for dignity and equality, including supporting the Equality Act and voting for the Respect for Marriage Act. The Respect for Marriage Act became Public Law 117-228 in 2022, providing federal statutory protections for same-sex and interracial marriages. Because the promise was framed as fighting for equality rather than guaranteeing comprehensive nationwide equality across all domains, the enacted marriage-equality protection and continued advocacy are sufficient to count as delivered, while broader nondiscrimination goals remain ongoing.
