Marie knows firsthand how important it is to be able to repair your own equipment. She is working to stop manufacturers from gouging customers.
In December 2024, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez introduced the Servicemember Right-to-Repair Act to increase military readiness and cut costs by allowing servicemembers to repair their own equipment.
Evidence
The article says the REPAIR Act, co-sponsored by Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, is still far from becoming law and still needs committee, House, Senate, and presidential approval.
Assessments
The promise was to support right-to-repair, not necessarily to enact a federal law. Gluesenkamp Perez made right-to-repair a campaign issue and then, after taking office on January 3, 2023, materially followed through by helping introduce and co-sponsoring federal right-to-repair legislation, including the REPAIR Act and SMART Act, in May 2023. As of June 13, 2026, the REPAIR Act remains pending and has not become law, but that does not negate fulfillment here because her promised action was support, and she provided clear legislative support during her same House term.
