"I'm advocating for the health and wellbeing of all Arizonans in Washington--whether it's legislation to improve health outcomes for Native Americans and fund Valley Fever vaccine research."

Stanton’s official House website states he is advocating for both parts of the claim, matching the legislative record above.

Rep. Greg Stanton and Rep. John Duarte introduced the Valley Fever Awareness and Vaccine Development and Manufacturing Act of 2024, which "supports the development, approval, licensing, and initial manufacturing of a vaccine" and "establishes programs to advance vaccine research and manufacturing."

This confirms Stanton actively advanced a concrete federal bill aimed at Valley Fever vaccine research, though the record shows introduction rather than enactment.

Assessments

delivered later_term

The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment. Stanton sponsored Native American health legislation during the relevant federal service period with H.R.6406 in 2022, and later continued the same effort in subsequent Congresses. He also materially advanced Valley Fever vaccine legislation in 2024 as an original cosponsor/introducer of a bill to support vaccine development, licensing, and initial manufacturing. Because the Valley Fever component appears to have been advanced after the 2019-2023 AZ-9 term, the fulfilled timing is later_term.
