Address the maternal mortality crisis impacting Black women.
Occurrences
Evidence
In a March 2025 campaign interview, Menefee said he would champion the revival of Build Back Better health provisions and support the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act.
The official House press-release archive for the lookback window shows recent items on June 1, May 25, May 21, May 20, May 15, and May 13, 2026, covering the art competition, Memorial Day, water-system cybersecurity, Equality Caucus membership, safe firearm storage, a 100-days message, a Dilley visit, college affordability, farm legislation, and special-election timing; none address maternal mortality or Black maternal health.
Assessments
Menefee publicly committed in March 2025 to back Black maternal health measures, including the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, but the provided evidence does not show that he has enacted, sponsored, or materially advanced a concrete federal outcome that fulfills the promise. His recent official House activity in the current term does not document maternal-mortality or Black maternal health delivery. On this record, the promise is still open rather than delivered or clearly failed after a substantial attempt.
