A critical component of the Green New Deal is its focus on a jobs guarantee, a guaranteed living wage, and strengthening the U.S. labor movement. Transitioning American society to 100% clean and renewable energy will create millions of good-paying union jobs...

Evidence
In her Environmental Justice statement, Lee says: “I plan to continue to fight for a Green New Deal to transition to a 100% clean and renewable energy economy.” She also says this includes ending fracking and emphasizes sustainable jobs.
The press release says Lee joined colleagues to reintroduce the AI Civil Rights Act, and it notes her broader work “to create thousands of good paying union jobs” in connection with clean energy investment delivered to Western Pennsylvania.
Lee’s latest press release on a different issue says she has delivered over $500 million to keep clean energy manufacturing at home in Pennsylvania and over $55 million on clean energy efforts in and around schools, but it does not claim passage of a Green New Deal or a jobs guarantee.
The member homepage highlights Lee’s current legislative activity and recent clean-energy-related work, but no official page located in the lookback window shows enactment of a Green New Deal, jobs guarantee, or living-wage transition package.
Assessments
The promise is broad and specific: advancing a Green New Deal that includes a jobs guarantee, living wage, and transition to 100% clean and renewable energy. The evidence shows Lee has actively advocated for this agenda in office and has supported clean-energy investments and union-job creation in Pennsylvania. However, there is no evidence here that a Green New Deal package, a federal jobs guarantee, or a living-wage transition policy was enacted, nor that she delivered the full promised outcome. Because she has materially advanced parts of the agenda through advocacy and clean-energy funding wins but has not secured the core policy delivery, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered. Timing is same_term because the cited efforts occurred during her current House service.
