I know this is a scary time for everyone, including the nearly 40,000 federal employees and contractors who live in my district. I am actively supporting legislation such as the Saving the Civil Service Act, which would ban the establishment of Schedule F and protect federal employees from at-will firings.

Reps. Suhas Subramanyam and James Walkinshaw wrote that Interior planned to relocate BIO federal employees from Reston, Virginia, to Washington, D.C.; they said the move would harm productivity, force dedicated federal employees out of their jobs, affect collaboration with nearby contractors, and requested responses by August 21, 2026.

GovInfo lists H.R. 7507 as the Fiscal Harms of Federal Firings Act. The action states that Mrs. McClain Delaney introduced the bill for herself, Mr. Subramanyam, and others, and it was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The full title requires a GAO study of the impact of Federal reductions in force on State and local governments.
Assessments
Subramanyam made concrete same-term efforts to protect VA-10 federal workers and contractors, including oversight opposing a Reston workforce relocation, support for civil-service protections, and bills addressing shutdown harm to federal employees and contractors. But the evidence shows these actions remained advocacy, oversight letters, bill introductions, or committee referrals, with no enacted law, executive result, or demonstrated preservation of the promised jobs. Because the promised outcome was broad job protection and has not been delivered, but there was a serious legislative and oversight attempt, this should be scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
Subramanyam made the campaign promise in a federal House context and, once in office, took relevant same-term actions: he supported civil-service protections such as the Saving the Civil Service Act and introduced shutdown-related relief bills for federal employees and contractors. However, the cited bills only reached introduction and committee referral, and the evidence does not show enacted protections or preserved federal civil servant and contractor jobs in Virginia's 10th District. Because these were serious but unsuccessful legislative efforts toward the promised outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
The evidence shows Subramanyam promised to protect federal civil servant and contractor jobs in VA-10, then took legislative and advocacy steps in the same term, including introducing shutdown-related contractor relief bills and supporting civil-service protections. However, the cited bills remained at introduction/referral and the record does not show enacted protections or a delivered outcome that actually secured those jobs. Because there was a serious attempt but the promised protection was not achieved, the outcome is never with an effort badge.
