Evidence
During my time in Congress I have been a champion for improving the lives of women and advancing gender equality. From working to increase the 77 cents that women make for every dollar earned by a man... I have made women and their families a top priority.
That’s why I co-sponsored the Paycheck Fairness Act, voted for its recent passage in the House, and will continue to work toward raising awareness of this important issue...

This bill would have helped ensure that women earn equal pay for equal work... I call upon my Republican colleagues ... to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act as soon as possible.
Assessments
Moore promised to work in Congress toward workplace pay equity and equal pay for equal work. The evidence shows she materially acted on that promise in federal office by co-sponsoring the Paycheck Fairness Act, voting for House passage, and publicly advocating for Senate action. The broader equal-pay legislation did not become law, but the promise was framed as a commitment to work toward the policy rather than a guarantee of enactment, so her sustained legislative effort satisfies the pledge in the same federal term context.
The promise was framed as working in Congress to ensure pay equity, not guaranteeing enactment. The evidence shows Moore co-sponsored, voted for, and publicly advocated for the Paycheck Fairness Act and continued to frame equal pay as a priority. However, the central federal equal-pay legislation did not become law during the relevant period, with Senate blockage documented. This supports meaningful same-term effort and advancement, but not full delivery of the policy outcome.
